    Is it just me or do all power showers have the 'temperature' and 'power' settings mixed up.

    I try to turn the temperature up and the water flow goes down.
    I try to turn the water flow stronger and it gets hotter.

    Is it just me is it a conspiracy and you're all in on it?!

    The heat of the coils is determined by the Power setting, the rate at which the water flows through the coils is set by the Temprature setting, that controls how hot the water gets.

    You're just crap with machinery probably. Nothing to worry about, unless your job involves machinery and then it'll probably kill you.

    Ta Ta for now!

    I normally find when the girl crouches down lower, the spray gets stronger, but when she stands up a little she....oh...no thats a different type of shower altogether.

    Oh I see what you did there.
    You went for the comedy element and pretended to be talking about golden showers.
    Your comedy stylings are wasted here young man.

    I do agree that my shower is trying to either scald me or turn me in to an ice cube.

    It's a common fault with the tritons that when the temp settings start going all over the place means that the filter has to be cleaned. F*cked if I'm gonna bother do it though! Still I do enjoy giving my OH a laugh when she hears the following:

    *click*
    *thump*
    *whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* (for about two minutes)
    "ooooooooooooooh!"
    "aaaaaaaaah-hahahahahahah"
    "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH"
    *thump*
    "motherbleep what the bleeeeep effing bleeeeper."

    My Triton went on fire,that was the only propblem I had with it though.

    The new model gives a mighty good clean.Never a problem with the temp or power.

    Do you mean an electric shower?

    slightly different to a power shower

    I'm still amazed by the number of people who don't get the difference. I've a power shower - full flow at any temperature. Best thing though would be to have it fed from an instant gas water heater - best of both worlds!

    Said so casually.. Going on fire is generally considered a large problem!

    You would think so.

    Though I suppose he got a "new model" instead. I suppose Rosanna Davidson wasn't a bad replacement!

    I'm not even going there!

    OK! I will!

    She sucked it up well.

    It was very moist.

    Sure, it was wet!

    Anyway, it has only happened if I'm on my knees.
