Hi,

having some problems with our boiler/shower etc- any advice very, very gratefully received!

Basically the pressure dropped to about 0.4 bar the other day so the shower stopped working- we put the pressure back up to 1.5 and it worked fine for a couple of days no problem. but for the last 48 hours then there's only a small amount of water coming out of the tap and virtually none makes it out of the shower head at all- just a trickle. however, the boiler says the pressure is at 2.0-2.4 bar. so although it says it's at high pressure then the water in the system is behaving as though it's at low pressure and not really coming through.

not sure what to do- switched the boiler off and on again and have tried to tweak the pressure but to no avail. it's a Glow Worm Flexicom CX if that makes any difference!

thanks a lot. in advance
