Hi Everyone

A bit of an odd one.

Had a new Triton electric shower fitted by the landlord about 12 months ago. It always reported low pressure a bit (sort of half lit window) but operated fine unless someone run a tap or flushed toilet etc.

Suddenly recently it powers on and sounds fine but only a trickle of water comes out.

I assumed blocked filters or dodgy solenoid, took the whole thing apart with no sign of blockages and reassembled and was going to use multimeter on the solenoid. Powered the shower up before hand on the off chance it had fixed itself and all working fine and oddly low pressure light was gone for like the first time ever.

All good for a few days and now the same thing has happened again.

Any ideas?

All I can think of so far is maybe there's some crap in the heater which became dislodged when I tipped all the water out and whatever is in there has made its way to the bottom again and blocked it but that's a complete guess. I couldn't see any evidence of timescale but you can't see much in there really.

Does it work, with the shower head removed?

Sorry forgot to include that we bought the house from him a few months back. I took the filter out last time, removed the heater, pretty much everything and reinstalled it and it was back to normal for a week.
 
Just to check, it is supplied from the watermain? Not a tank?
