New here and have browsed to try to find a problem similar to mine. If I have missed it, I apologise.
I have had a mixer shower fitted to an extension. Gravity system. 2 bar cold. 0.2 bar hot. shower on same level as large hot water cylinder. Large water tank in attic, 4.5 metres from hot water tank.
Mixer is minimum running water pressure 0.1 bar but optimum at 0.5 bar. Maximum running water pressure 5 bar.
The problem is the shower will most often pulsate when running (1-2 pulses a second). If I adjust the temp to full HOT it will stop; if I adjust the temp to full COLD it will stop. If I gingerly move from the 38 degrees to hot, I can stop it pulsing.
Not sure about the hot water temp from the tank, just know it's very hot!
Any ideas abut how to resolve this? It's for my mother so it needs to be right.
Thanks
