Is your power shower not that powerful?

Lots of people really enjoy having a shower, it can refresh you, wake you up and get you ready for the day ahead. You usual get under a shower expecting it to be a warm blast of water and it can be quite disappointing if you have nothing more than a little trickle.

If this is the case for your shower then there are a few things to check. If the power has always been low then it may be that the shower you have simply isn’t powerful enough or that the water pressure is weak. If it is that the shower is not working as it should then replacing it with a new one will do the trick. If this doesn’t solve the issue, it could be that the water pipes are situated in the wrong position for the shower making it harder to transport the water up quick enough.

If the problem is new and you also notice water running down the shower hose then you most likely have a leak or the head isn’t screwed on tight enough, the water is escaping and therefore you are losing pressure by the time it comes out. This is an easy fix and if there is a split in the hose, then you can buy a replacement for under £10.
