Default Power shower, rapidly varying temperature

What do you mean by the showerhead being "scaled up"? Does that mean
it's designed to in some way reduce flow? It's certainly a pretty poor
shower head.


Clogged with limescale. Try unscrewing the handset completely and see if
the temperature's stable then.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.



You will find the temperature is lower as you have removed a significant
flow restriction. The holes block with limescale when the water dries off.

Remember - the temperature is a factor of:
1. The electrical power.
2. The rate of water flow over the elements. (Slow it down and it becomes
hotter - too slow and it will trip off)
