Pitiful shower pressure!

[Jimbeam]

We've just moved into a rented property. The shower Pressure is at best an annoying drip,

Anyone know how to increase the power?

Cheers, jim

What type of shower have you got?
If its not electric then what type of water boiler/heater have you got?

Pumped? Gravity Fed?

[Ricky_M]

If its an electric shower its fked.

If its a mixer shower straight from a combi, the valve is fked or blocked.

If its a mixer shower gravity fed from a storage cistern, the valve is buggered, blocked or the pipe work is air locked.

If its a mixer shower gravity fed from a storage cistern and boosted with a shower pump all of the above, plus the possibility of a buggered pump.

Check whether it is a thermostatic mixer valve, if so check it has been piped up correctly, hot to the left and cold to the right, as this can cause the thermostat to freak out and you will just get a dribble! Also make sure the valve is upside down!
