Plumbing day...aaaargh!
Last night, half way through his shower, the shower in my eldest's room suddenly showed low pressure and cut out. It had also tripped the main RCD.
It looks like it's done the over-pressure module, so that will have to be replaced, THEN I reckon it might be worse, but we'll see.
Meanwhile, he gets out of that shower, still filthy, (he's a plater and welder on the coke ovens on the local steelworks, so comes home black bright), and goes across to the power shower in the main bathroom.....which completely refuses to work
He was none too pleased either.
So he ends up in the bath..which he left filthy. Words will be had tonight.
The power shower had to have the pump and shower valve removed, the filters on the pump were full of cr@p, and, of course, I wrecked one getting it out, so had to go to town and search one out. Luckily we have a decent washing machine repair place where I bought one for 50p.
The shower valve was limed up, so that got a thorough clean, and it now works again.
Hopefully, the over-pressure module should arrive tomorrow, then I can see what damage has been done to the shower.
Next instalment: tomorrow.
Triton T80 si, 9.5kW.
Oh, and the module? It's a nylon valve with a ball-bearing in it: £13 delivered!!!
Apparently, if you go over pressure, the bolley shoots out and goes down the drain......
