Shower issues!
I've just moved into a new house and without a doubt, the shower is the worst I have ever used! Its an over the bath shower and is attached to the mixer taps (ie. you pull a lever to swap from taps to shower function) but there is just no water pressure - it literally just trickles out - took 10 minutes just to wash my shampoo out this morning! I don't have a combi boiler - the hot water is run on an immersion heater so maybe this is the problem??
Anyone got any suggestions on what I can do to improve the situation - if so how much will it cost (ball park)??
Thanks
PS: There seems to be a pump next to the immersion tank - I'm assuming this would be for the central heating - not the shower??

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I had this problem with mine but it may just be that your shower head is clogged up with limescale (depends how old and if it's been taken off and cleaned tho') - i removed the showerhead and soaked it overnight in vinegar, this removes the limescale - may need to poke some of the holes with a pin if too hard-
if this isn't the problem, you may wanna simply try sittiing down as the lower the pipe and showerhead, the more pressure - altho only slight improvement.
Worst case scenario - get your water tank moved higher up.
