Hi all
4 years ago i had a new shower fitted in my en-suite, it has a pump under the bath in the main bathroom. The shower itself has a fixed shower head, body jets and a flexible hose. When it was first fitted i could run all 3 features at once, now it 1 at a time and the pressure is not great.
After speaking to a guy in B+Q i upgraded (changed) the pump from 1.5bar to 2bar. But things have not improved much at all.
The weakest pressure comes from the fixed head (highest) fitting which made me think it could be a "head" problem? However, i checked the gap between the header tank and the highest pipework in the loft and its bigger than the required minimum. Also it was fine for the first few years?
When i turn on the shower, there is a delay before the water kicks in. Its only a few seconds but its worse from the highest shower? Could it be air?
Any help advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
