i have a Saracen TMV 2/3 fitted under the bath. With the control fully clockwise there is lots of pressure out of the bath hot water tap but it’s cold. With the control fully anti-clockwise there is hot water but at a reduced pressure compared to other taps. It means the shower fitted to the tap isn’t powerful enough.

The Saracen web site says there are in line filters on the TMV. Is it possible the hot inlet is partially blocked? Alternatively, is it possible to remove the TMV completely?

Unfortunately the plumber didn’t put any isolation valves around the TMV so it makes checking the filters and / or removing the valve a bit of a pain.
