    I have an Aqualisa Quartz Electric 10.5kW shower and in the last few weeks the heating performance has dropped off, I'm having to turn the dial far more to hot than normal (especially for this time of year) which is making the water flow pretty pathetic. The mains water pressure is good, and...
