What's wrong with my shower?


Recommended Posts

I've just rung Mira and got one of those people who prefers talking to listening :suspect: and I don't appreciate being spoken to as though I'm a helpless woman :rant:

 

..... so I'm asking you guys :) *crosses fingers for plumber being online*

 

My Mira sport's 'low pressure' light comes on and it dribbles water.

If you turn the cold tap on in the sink full blast, then turn the shower on, then turn the tap off, it works fine :confused:

 

Any ideas what's causing this?

 

Can it be trapped air for instance?

 

Is it infact 'high pressure' that's causing it?

 

 

There has been water work done round here recently, and I can't be sure it isn't air or rubbish in the unit :(

 

 

Either that or it's died of old age ;)

Im a plumber. The problem is quite simple- you

Our shower occasionally has low pressure problems. I've found that switching it to cold, laying the shower head in the bath and letting it run for 10 minutes sorts it out - it sputters away for a few minutes as the trapped air gets out and is then fine.

 

Might not work for you but worth a try!

Shame the bath and shower are in 2 different rooms :hihi:

 

It won't switch on in 'cold' mode either :(
