I have a pumped thermostatic shower but the shower will not get hot enough after a pump change.
Could the surrey valve be restricted?
As the feed to the pump feels much colder than the feed for the rest of the hot taps?

Any thoughts or advice

Well lets assume it is related to pump replacement,so could be maybe a air lock,a valve that has not opened up fully,rubbish in the filter to pump or shower valve

Hi
All the valves are open and the filters are clean i checked them
I just feels like the water coming from the surrey valve is not as hot as it should be
The valves are new when the pump was fitted
I am going to get a temp gauge on it when i can and see what the temp readings are

I take it both sides are pumped and the cold isn't off the mains?
