Low Water Pressure
Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2007 8:23 pm
Hi
I have an electric shower (Mira Sport) in my bathroom that seems to suffer from intermittent low water pressure (mainly in the mornings) - this is indicated by the low pressure warning light coming on - the main way I seem to be able to get some sort of shower is to increase the temperature control and / or reduce to half power setting. The basin and bath cold taps don't seem to be affected very much by the drop in pressure.
The incoming cold supply downstairs is governed by a pressure valve - would it be wise for me to increase the incoming pressure?
The valve is marked "SYR" (a brass / gunmetal type body with a black plastic housing projecting from the side - on the end of this housing is a dark blue serrated knob / cap that appears to be secured through the end with a brass screw) . What would be the correct procedure to adjust the valve?
Thanks
