Mend Low Pressure Day

Shower broke ?

Hey all.

So when we come into this house the shower was O.K but then it was keep saying "low pressure" and turning off so my mum had them out to look at it and they been out 4times until they said they will put in a new shower. So they put a new one in and with a day that one broke with a leek so they put a new one in again but now it is saying "low pressure" and "reset" and then it just cuts off the water. This is a Electric Shower.

First I'd get 'them' back to sort it out. But for your information all electric showers have a minimum flow rate which is dictated by water pressure. If you have low pressure at the shower appliance then the flow rate will be low (unless you have an extra pump). This means that as the water goes through the shower heater it will get so hot it becomes dangerous, at this point a temperature sensor detects the temp, turns off the water and displays the error message.
Is your shower connected to mains pressure or from a tank in the loft? If the latter I'm not surprised pressure is too low. But as I said at the start - get 'them' back to sort it!
