is the water hot at the other taps ? If so the thermastat in the shower is faulty, A new unit will be cheaper than the stat, Is this in your new home ?? smiley-sad029 rain

Bar showers can be pretty cheap, £30+
I'd change it.

If its brand new then there's 3 possibilities 1. its been installed wrong ( cold and hot wrong way round) 2.. as others have said muck in filter 3. its faulty, I've had a few that hav't worked from new, Its a bit of a bugger when you move from one house because of problems and get more at the new house,  |

a combi relies on the water pressure of the incoming mains, I never checked the pressure of yours because i'd no need to for the job i did, is it poor at the other taps ?,
to check get a measure jug and open the kitchen cold tap fully, you'll need a timer/clock and measure how many litres you can fill in one minute, If its less than 9lte per minute, the water main needs upgrading, the water authority are duty bound to supply at the very least 9 litres per minute,
9 litres per minute will give an adiquent shower but it won't be brillient and if someone turns another tap on it will stop,
a pump on a mains water is expensive and a bodge job but it saves all the digging and groundwork that should have been done during the refurbish of the house,
It looks like someones cut corners , jvtsl41E0pOEtzQWTQLo thumbs down
