About 10 years ago we had a new mixer shower fitted. However, the most we ever got out of it was a trickle - even from the beginning. At the time I looked up the manufacturers installation instructions and it says that the showerhead needs to be at least 1 m from the bottom of the water tank we have in the loft. At this point I thought that we had made a costly mistake and was annoyed with the plumber for not getting the job done properly. As a temporary measure, I fitted a shower hose over the bath taps and it has been working okay for all these years.
I’m now finally getting round to seeing if I can fix the built-in shower and a few things don’t make sense to me. Firstly the pressure doesn’t seem too bad. From the video below you can see that it seems reasonable. The outlet here is about 1.5 m from the underside of the water tank in the loft above.

Then when I fit on the mixer unit, I can only get a trickle as shown in the video below.

According to the manufacturers instructions, I think I should be getting much more flow than this. If anyone can give some advice I’d really appreciate it.
