Triton T90xr repair or replace?

Ok I have always had Triton showers and majority of time I end up with same problem.

I always seem to always have it on high on the economy button. No matter if shower is brand new, not sure if that is bad but everyone I know does the same

Anyway my current shower I need to turn it right around to 8-10 all the time to get any sort of warm/hot water out of it. If I go lower it goes cold very quickly

Now before I would of always had it around 5. Not sure how long it is installed but just wondering what might be wrong to cause this issue? Is it easy fix?

Or is it better just to replace?

Thanks

The pressure of the hot water coming out of the shower is dependent on the temperature of the water entering the shower. Water in the attic tank in the winter can be close to zero. Water in the attic tank in the summer can be lukewarm. So you will notice a huge difference between summer and winter showering.
The medium or economy setting is only there for hot days of over 20c in the summer. This feature is used more in south of England where temperatures are hotter.
Having said all that it's possible that the shower is operating on only one element. Turn the shower on and get a comfortable temperature on full power. Once you have this turn power selector to medium or economy. If the temperature drops all is well with the shower. If the temperature doesn't drop then one element isn't engaged.
