Electric Showers
Looking for a bit of advice please.
My mum has an electric shower (Mira Supreme, which according to the web is either an 8 or 9 Kw, I have yet to go and look at it) that has been in the house since new build in 1994. She is telling me the 'pressure' has decreased over the last few months, it still works OK to have a shower but "not as powerful as it was", She has removed and cleaned the shower head which makes no difference. Is it likely to be furred up and if so is there a cure, apart from replacement. If she goes down the replacement path can you get 'powerful electric showers or are the dependant on your incoming water pressure? I presume you cannot put a pump in the circuit because of pumping mains water. Assuming the cable is the correct rating is it worth putting a higher Kw rated shower in it's place, and will this create the feeling of more pressure? I hope that makes sense to everybody, it does to me but I know what I am trying to say! Cheers John |
