My electric shower (Triton T80) has pretty bad water pressure, even though the taps in the bathtub have great pressure. Are there any basic things I could try to alleviate that, or at least figure out if the problem is the shower itself or the pipes leading to it?
The pressure is low on cold as well as on hot, so I don't think it's the heating element. It's also not the shower hose or the shower head, since I can attach it to the tap and have perfect water pressure from there.
Unfortunately I can't access the pipework since it has all been tiled over. I can't even see where the pipe connects to the water supply.
I did notice that there is a small stream of water coming out at the bottom, next to where the shower hose attached. That might be some sort of overflow pipe or something like that? Could that indicate a problem? It's not a lot of water though, so I don't think that would account for the difference in pressure either.
