Hi Everybody,
We have moved into an apartment that has recently had the shower changed. The replacement shower is a Triton power shower with a variable thermostat control.
We kept the setting on 6 out of 10 and the water temperature was fine for a couple of months. We did notice however, that the higher the thermostat setting, the lower the pressure from very hard at 1 to a dribble at 10.
However, now when we get into the shower, the temperature is fine on 6 for about 2 minutes then becomes cold. We have to turn the temperature to 10 to have some hot water. However, this results in very little pressure. After about 2 minutes, the shower can be turned back to about 6 with warm water but then again gets cold and we need to turn it back to 10.
I have two questions.
Firstly, is it normal that the higher the thermostat, the lower the shower pressure?
Also what is causing us to have variable water temperatures?
Thanks
Di
