    Hi all, hopefully you will be able to help me out.

    Our place has 3 bedrooms upstairs, and there are 3 bathrooms - 1 main bathroom and 2 ensuites. Water is not supplied by the attic, but by a pressurised water tank in the same floor (big tank with what looks like a big glass balloon on top), and hot water is supplied to the shower by a combi boiler in the kitchen downstairs.

    For the last few days, and for no reason that I can see, the shower is reduced in power for hot water - if I start it on cold and turn it on to full blast, it is as strong as usual, but when I turn up the temperature, you can see the flow reduce.

    Also, 1 ensuite bathroom (not the same bathroom as the shower) also has really reduced pressure, worse than the shower, reduced to not much more than a trickle, meaning the pump is going on forever to refill the cistern. The taps in the same ensuite are still fine though.

    All the other toilets and taps upstairs and downstairs work just fine also.

    I can't think of anything that might have triggered this, but you might have some ideas I hope.
