Asked by Kelly on 1st Feb 2021"Hi its an air lock. The first way to clear an airlock, involves attaching a hose pipe to the hot and cold taps at a sink in your home and turning the cold tap on so that the water flows through the hose pipe, into the hot water tap, removing the air."

This sounds like air in the pipework feeding the shower. Firstly try taking the shower head off the hose and putting the hose at the lowest point i.e on the shower tray and running the shower for approx 5 mins this may cure the issue. It may be that the pipework feeding your shower is installed incorrectly allowing the pipework to draw in air. This would need a professional to take a look. The hot off the hot water cylinder should be fitted with a "Surrey flange" this ensures the supply is drawn from a point approx 10cm down into the top of the tank thus eliminating any air being drawn in.
