Got a problem with hot shower in the ensuite.
Changed washers twice and changed the shower head and water pressure is still low and still low and the hot water keeps fluxuating from hot to cold with more cold then hot.

We go to the shower.in second bedroom and continous hot water an great pressure.

Anyone got any ideas?

Does your hot water unit have an attached solar system?

If you have just changed shower head, then I will say that there is a little grommet thingy inside the head itself has dislodged and blocking pressure. Had the same problem, take the head off and throw the little grommet thing away. The pressure will be the best you've had...
Hope that makes sense and works for ya...

Go into a bunnings so you can see what a grommet looks like and see where it sits.
