Hi guys,
hopefully its a straight forward fix, I have a triton mixer shower, recently ive noticed that the pressure is not that great, it was fine before not powerful but good for a decent wash.
I have the traditional water tank in the loft and cylinder in the airing cupboard setup, unvented i think it called?
I dont think its my Mira response shower head, the shower head is held about head height and there is a 1.2m hose with 11mm bore connected, now if i lower this down it starts to regain its pressure, if i lift it as high as i can it trickles. It use to work when lifted high up, never trickles.
What could it be? air in the system? the actual mixer/cartridge? Only lived in the house for a year and those were all new when I changed them. I will clean the shower head but i dont think its that as the pressure returns when lowering the showerhead, Ive not noticed anything else and no house work was done.
Also when this happens i've notice it splutters a little somethings, not a constant flow, when the shower is often, it often leaks for another few mins and sometimes randomly the water drips from the shower head then stops.
I'm not a pro on plumbing but can follow instructions
