Hi
My shower has really low pressure, especially the hot. Its a gravity fed system and a thermostatic shower, fairly new. The pipes feeding the shower come from the loft. Cold comes from the tank, along and down the wall. The hot comes from the hot water cylinder, up into the loft, along and down the wall to the shower. Im in a bungalow so theres not much height between shower and loft tank anyway. I will be fitting a pump at some point, but just wondering why the hot in particular is so low. If I turn the shower fully cold, the pressure is higher, but if I turn it to fully hot, it barely trickles out. Any suggestions? Could it be the fitting coming out the top of hot water cylinder is partially clogged up? The rest of the hot water in the house is fine, its just the shower. I wonder if its because the hot pipe goes up through the loft?
