Gainsborough Bathroom Appliances, Baths and Showers Water Gainsborough Replace

if a shower hasnt enough water pressure the heating element will turn off for safety reasons ( dont want to scold ). Replacing it shows it isnt the shower unit. Must be the water pressure.
I always ensure a shower is supplied through the main water inlet.

heating element not working, if it was not new i could understand but not with a new one.
try seeing if there is power to the element if so isolate the electric and do a continuity test between the heating element
