Hi All,
I’m not really good at explaining these kind of things, but I’m so frustrated with my shower problem I don’t know what to do, and I’m really hoping for some feedback!.
The story goes as follows:
I rent a studio, which is build, as sort of an extension to the main house. Now everything was perfect, until 2 months ago my shower’s Triton T80xr ‘low pressure’ indicator start flashing and water would be freezing cold. Notified my landlady, she called in plumber and he said he recons its due to council water supply disruption and my shower feeds from the mains. Fine, few weeks later when council confirmed there will be no further disruptions in water supply, I contacted my landlady as my shower showed no change, water was still cold. She called in another plumber, he said he recons that since the pipe is outside and the weather so cold then when water is reaching the element its too cold and it doesn’t have enough power to heat it up so it’ll stay cool until weather improves. Fine, last week when the sun was out I can see it’ll hit the wall where my shower pipe is, so I figured I should be good to get a shower, nope, water barely warm, like you wouldn’t take your clothes off to get in that shower.
Also it may be worth mentioning we had a trouble with the power in the house just prior I start having problems with my shower. I mean the power would go off, then people in the house will do whatever and then power will go back, then off again and back on again, it resolved later, I Think it was something to do with so many people leaving in the house and using plenty of electricity.
Basically, I was using the shower in the main house, but this weekend I have a sister visiting me for a week, and I don’t think people in the house will be impressed with strange person using their shower also! It’s just so frustrating having to go throuhg all this trouble when I have my own shower!
Thanks you and regards,
