Boost

To my great satisfaction, our shower was repaired on Thursday. It has been broken since about January but I haven't had time to sort it out. Until now that is. And in future I intend to sort out home things as a priority instead of leaving it so long.

The heat control has been stuck in one position which means that the shower was horribly cold in the winter, but as the mains water heated up over the months it gradually became warmer, and is now almost unbearably scalding hot!

The shower repair man was really helpful and enthusiastic. He quickly replaced the control panel of the shower but then noticed something strange. The air boost button was not connected properly. This means that for the last three years we have been unaware of the joys it could bring us. Electric showers are not as powerful as showers that come from the hot water tank; there's nothing to be done about that. However the air boost thingy pumps air through as well as water to sort of increase the volume a bit. The shower repair man fixed the hose so that it worked and told me to put my arm in to the shower to feel the difference - and it was really noticeable. So not only is the shower fixed, it is even better than before. Happy days!
