i've just put a new shower in and am having problems with it.

the shower is a single control thermostatic unit connected to a 6" rose. the single lever goes from cold to hot in about 3-4 turns (it came from trueshopping.co.uk).

the shower is connected to the cold water supply and hot water tank (which lives adjacent to the shower cubicle) via a shiny new Techflow twin impellor negative head pump (negative head because it also services another bathroom in the loft) with techflange.

the bathroom in the loft gets plentiful hot water so it's not a pump issue. I can only think it is an issue in the design of the shower valve (perhaps i should have bought a twin lever device with seperate temperature and flow controls?) or an over-conservative anti-scald valve.

the current maximum temperature is nicely warm, but not 'hot'...

any ideas?

cheers

is the mixer set up properly, does it have a stop that can be adjusted for temp.
