 |
|
My Gainsborough 1000x has never been great but we have lived with it and never change the settings because very difficult to get it back to previous level of control. Sometimes however, guests do funny things with it! We had a guest stay and all of a sudden the water is dribbling out of the head. If i turn the temp down there is more water. If I turn it up there is less water. Unfortunately i can't get it to a sensible temp and have enough water. Any ideas?
I replaced the pressure relief device last year. |

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.
If you have power to the elements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.
If you don’t have a multimeter we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower.
Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left in batteries
(so you know if they are dud or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.
