Poor water pressure in shower & not very hot!

    Hi guys
    I moved into a rented apartment recently which has underfloor electric heating (which is proving not so fantastic!) and a pump shower heated by the immersion. However I really only use the water for 1 shower per day (usually the evening) and a small amount in the morning and evening for washing up. I usually put the 'bath' timer of the immersion on for about 45 mins in the morning & maybe for half an hour before having a shower in the evening. the water for the shower is not very hot usually though, and needs to run for about 3 minutes or so before it even starts to warm up a bit.

    Also the pressure is very low but the taps at the sink in teh kitchen seem grand pressure-wise. I am pretty clueless about the best way to operate a system like this as I am used to gas central heating/boiler heating the water etc. Am I going about it the totally wrong way given how I use/need hot water?

    Thanks a million :)

    Your question is vague, sorry i am not sure what exactly you want to know. Immersion is fine. Standard in an apartment even with gas heating. Mainly because its a 317/144 hot over cold esb cylinder or the likes normally.

    You water is pumped thats fine. It usually needs to be

    It will not be the same operation as your mothers at home(unless your lucky) but the pressure should be good.

    Can you ask a specific question or possibly ask the landlord...
