Hello, Had a power shower in for about 2 years now but as the months have progressed, I have had to turn the temperature dial higher to keep the water warm.
If a pipe is "silting up", how can I clear it?
Is there another explanation?
(my power shower has a manual valve for temp control)
Thanks
Gareth

If it's a manual valve then there's nothing to need replacing.

The position of the mixer knob depends on the relative tempertatures of the water - look at the HW thermostat. Try 55 - 60°
