Shower water pressure too high

[madaboutnoggins]

Hi

I have a Combination bioler (glow-worm micron with megaflow water cylinder). We have a thermostatically controlled shower and the water pressure is unbelievably high to the point that can be painful when hitting various parts of the body.

You can probably base the type of shower it is on the fact that the house is only 3 years old, so has the typical installations of new builds these days ... if that helps, sorry, am obviously not an expert.

Any help is appreciated.

What to do about it, I expect??? !

Isn't there a "volume" control on the shower knob? There will be isolating valves. It might make a bit of a noise but you can turn those down!

I washed my hands with one of those Karcher 100 bar things the other day. I know I'm a he-man but it didn't hurt.
