Hi all,
I recently moved house and the bath/shower mixer tap constantly fluctuates in temperature. The swings aren't huge but definitely noticeable. It's the same whether using the bath tap or combined shower head.
The adjacent sink mixer doesn't have the same issue so I'm assuming it's something specific to the bath mixer.
We're on a combi boiler with good water pressure. The incoming hot and cold pipes both have basic flow regulators fitted and restricting flow. Playing around with these didn't seem to improve the fluctuations.
One final clue (possibly): the hot and cold levers are very sensitive. They turn 90 degrees in total but once you've gone from 0 (off) to about 20 degrees they are basically fully open.
Any help much appreciated! I'm hoping I can understand or fix the issue without replacing the unit as the bath and everything is tiled in so fitting a deck mounted thermostatic mixer would be a pain.
