OK. 3 Months ago had several problems with the CH. Finally got Div Valve replaced and all sorted and working OK. (Also in the run up to getting the Div Valve replaced we had around 4 new pumps).

In the mean time we seem to have developed a problem with the Shower. We have a Mira Combi HP Shower - the Hot Water only stays hot if we have the CH on, and the Water Pressure is rubbish.

Hot Water pressure elsewhere in the house is excellent, yet to maintain Hot Water we still need the CH on, otherwise the Water starts off freezing, gets luke warm, then eventually gets Very Hot, stays hot for around 3 mins-ish, then gets freezing cold and starts all over again.

Pump is new and is running well. Any ideas? Im slightly confused why water pressure in the taps is excellent, but the shower is a trickle.

Thankx

Do a search on the forum for the Puma hot water flow switch. The red LED on the circuit board should come on when a hot tap is opened.

What is the shower flowrate like with the shower head disconnected - time the water into a bucket to compare.
