    Hello
    Went to use my shower this morning and have no pressure or water coming out, electrics and taps all fine, and checked the water tap was up!!? Shower head not blocked, shower is 6 years old. . Checked inside unit couldn't see any problems? Any help appreciated :)
     
  2. Perhaps a little more info?
    If the electrics and taps all fine are we to assume that you have a conventional shower valve with a pump in the airing cupboard?

    Have you checked the inlet filter isn't blocked? Pilot valve won't work if it is blocked.

    Looking at that shower its clearly quite old given that it has a copper heat exchanger, If it was me I'd replace the whole unit, probably be no more expensive than a repair to that one, and you'll start off with a warranty.
