Shower low pressure

[Roger465]

While in the bathroom earlier today, I briefly heard a great bubbling noise from somewhere - couldn't locate it before it stopped.

Then while using the kitchen tap, it spat and spurted for a while before normal service was resumed. I assumed the water company had been doing something, so thought no more of it - I now find that the shower (mains fed as far as I know) runs for a couple of seconds, then stops with the low pressure light coming on.

Is there anything I can do to fix this, or should I just keep running/resetting it (a couple of seconds each time) and it might clear?

Thanks

Round our way they've been replacing water meters. The low pressure light in our shower now comes on intermittently.
That may have no connection to the meter replacement, and I suspect the companies may have reduced pressure to help conserve low water supplies nationally.

Its running hot/cold?, if so, thats either the pressure switch or the TCO (thermal cut out) killing the power to the heating elements at 48C, what you might try is to just turn on one heating element and adjust the flowrate which might give you at least a 1/2 power shower until the pressure (if) increases, you should stll get around 3.0LPM at 40C, better than nothing.

Thanks guys - it seems to have come back OK for now. Gave a few big coughs first, like the kitchen taps, so I guess the water board have been doing something, and a bit of air in the system
