Shower pressure problem

[Systemfix]

Hiya,

I have a problem and thats why i'm here for advice.

I have a gravity fed shower and it is fitted with the hose and shower rail to the wall. When the showerhead is on the rail to the wall it dribbles and non existant but when I remove the head of the rail and lower it to the ground then it starts to pour out but poorly and then when I lift it again it stops,

What could be the problem and how would I be able to resslove it??

Thanks guys

Is it possible to raise your tank which will help.

Hi Bacho no its a flat and its just higher that the shower cubicle, it was ok before, could it be the shower valve faulty or a blockage in the pipework, how could I check it out?

Thanks mate

Try it with the shower head removed.

Check tank is filling up or read FAQs on airlock.

yeah tried that too, do you think the valve has gone?

sorry just forgot to mention to you that its just the hot side of the shower having the problem as the cold is perfect, thanks again

If whats been suggested so far does not fix it try checking any filters in the hot water side of things. work back from the hand set.

Has the flow recently diminished and was ok before of have you just moved in.

Hi Tim yeah I had the flat redecorated and was out of the place for a while and it was ok before that but now its just stopped working, good idea to check filters, will have a go,
