Hi, 1st post, I've seen so much help being given on this forum, I'm hoping someone can help me too.
My shower, a Triton Opal which has been working fine for approx 24 months, has recently over the last 6 months started losing its pressure and switching over to freezing cold. It did lose pressure at the start until about 6 months ago but not to the frequency it happens now.
Every morning without fail, the shower is switched on and it will stay in Low Pressure mode, my stopcock in the kitchen is open fully and the water pressure for cold water throughout the house is very powerful. The pipe feeding the shower is open fully as well.
What we have to do to try and get it to switch back to hot water is run the flush on the toilet, this in the past made it worse, but now sometimes seems to cure it.
If this doesn't work, we have to leave the cold tap running or if that doesn't work we leave the hot tap running...its so bizzare!!
We have no appliance like a washing machine that uses hot/cold water is not running either.
This is becoming a nightmare for us now, we are now forced to stand in the shower at the far end with our bottoms pressed against the window
waiting for it to switch back to hot . I'm sure somebody is having a laugh with us, as it always seems to switch to cold when the hair is full of shampoo!
If anybody can advise me, I would be most grateful
