Bought a new flow valve, installed it, same problem happens. Decided to just buy a new shower, installed it, still got the same problem. Any ideas or am I just stuck with a shower that decides it's own fucking temperature at any given moment? @Zen Archer (Raconteur) @magee84 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've opened the valves on the pipes as I was warned it might be that restricting the flow, the pipes and valves all look quite old and tbh they don't stop turning so I'm unsure how you ever know if they are fully open. 28 minutes ago, Boghead ranter said: @Zen Archer (Raconteur) @magee84 Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old one was a Mira Sport. This is where you tell me it's a manufacturers problem and I was a dafty for buying the same maker, isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be mains water to your kitchen cold tap at least, if the flow or pressure seems fine there it should be OK throughout the house. Alternatively it could be the shower isolation valve that's at fault. I've not seen this one before but looking at the manual (page 14), the hose hast to be installed with the diffuser end fitting into the shower outlet, is this the right way round? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, installed exactly like that. I reckon I'm just going to have to get an expert out to check things as I'm clearly missing something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing I can think of is checking the inlet filter page 20, if there was any debris in the pipework it may have clogged this up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Nobody tempted to try a reverse Hedgecutter on his garden pictures? I sort of fancy the idea of a garden camera, as I keep finding pigeon skeletons - not dead pigeons, but fully stripped-down, featherless skeletons - in our back yard. However, I'm a bit scared to find out how it's happening, and I can't imagine it would make for pleasant viewing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparrowhawk or fox or domestic cat would off the pigeon and scavengers like craws or natural decay/maggots would strip the carcass. All part of the circle of life. RSPB site says sparrowhawks pluck feathers off so the ends will be pointed while foxes bite off feathers so the ends will be blunt. Either that or Dick Dastardly Dalek 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or Dick Dastardly Dalek Aye, but they appear overnight, with not a feather to be seen in the area The more I think about it, the likelier it is that a human being is plucking and stripping down bird carcasses and leaving them for me to discover. So I'm going to stop thinking about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
