Shower problems..

[digisatman]

Hi all,

I have a Triton HP thermostatic mixer shower and a Vokera mynute 20se System boiler.

Lately I have noticed that the shower is not hot at all anymore, and pressure of the hot water that comes out is not that much. I got the shower catridge replaced, but it is still the same.

The pressure and temperatue of hot water in taps around house is good.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

did you clean out the filters

I took the catridge off and took some pics with water supply on, looks like theres more cold water getting through than hot, (hot pipe is on the left, cold is on the right). Though, both supply's should be the same, as I have a systems boiler with a santon premier unvented system.

Can supply be adjusted?, Heres some pics:

Any advice appreciated. thanks

if you say your hot taps still as good as before
leads me just to the shower pipework.
have you any isolation valves in the pipework or non return valves ?

 

[digisatman]

sorry, what do you mean?

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

are you taps still good pressure as they where before ?

 

[digisatman]

yes, taps have good pressure plus good temperature.

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

so the problems with the shower pipework.

hve you any isolation valves in the pipe from the cylinder to the shower ?

something is restricting the pipe is the taps are ok.

If you can see in the 3rd pic, there is some kind of valve, Can this be adjusted to let more water through?, If so, what way should it be turned?

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

no thats the filter. pic not very clear does it look like a plastic gauze ?

 

[digisatman]

yeah its plastic, you think mabye filter needs cleaned? If so, how do i take it out?

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

must unscrew

 

[digisatman]

What do i need to unscrew it?, also, will unscrewing it have any effect on the flow of water?

 

[hi-spec plumbing heating]

looking at the instructions they have a flow restrictor in their, which should come with a tool to remove them.
thats if you fitted the shower and have the tool

so I should manage to get a hold of the check valve tool to adjust the flow restrictor yeah?
