Our electric shower has low pressure whenever it is hot
When the temperature’s turned up, the water flow drops right down and the shower feels weak, but if we turn it cooler the pressure suddenly improves. This is a fresh fitting and I'm thinking it might be indicative of a fault?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hello, it could be a number of things. It could be that the shower head or filter are blocked. It could also be the heating element is faulty. It’s normal for the pressure to drop abit, as the temperature goes up as the water will need to slow down to heat up if that makes sense. If the shower is old it may be worth just changing the whole unit."

"It could be a blockage in the system's microfilter, or a problem with the system's thermostat adjustment."

"It’s likely the power cable supplying your power shower is not sized correctly causing the power to drop when you require hot water."
