URGENT No water from shower

[m1keyboy]

Hi all,

Just after a bit of advice on a recent shower issue.

We've had the shower installed since about 2016, and it's been relatively trouble free. Since this morning, when you turn the shower on, water comes out for about 5 seconds, then slows to a trickle, then stops completely. If you turn it off and on immediately, still no water. If you turn it off, wait 5 minutes and turn it back on, you get a short burst of water again and the problem repeats.

I'm extremely novice when it comes to plumbing, but I've been having a look around this forum and it seems like similar problems could possibily be related to some kind of inlet filter? I wanted to get some other opinions before I start taking my shower to pieces! 😅

I have attached a picture of the shower. I'm assuming if I can undo those nuts on either side, undo those flathead screws and undo that top nut above the flow lever, I should be able to remove that section of the unit and inspect the filters that way?

If anyone has any advice, or if they think I'm focusing on the wrong thing, please let me know!

Cheers.

Some people have been suffering from frozen pipes, so could be frozen pipes if they’re in the loft?
