SOURCE: my thermostatic concealed shower valve only gives

Hi,

If the hot and cold are fitted the wrong way round then the thermostat on the shower unit cannot operate properly!

Most thermostatic mixer showers have a 'bi-metallic' thermostat, if you supply the hot to the cold and vice versa IT WILL NOT WORK.

It is like wearing the left shoe on the right foot and the right on the left! It doesn't work.

Re-install the hot and cold to the correct supply, and this will sort it.

I hope this helps.

Water output to all taps is really slow to the point that it is impossible to shower - cold water supply is fine from taps serviced by this boiler. What might be the problem?

The boiler is clogged or has a hole in it.

I have a Potterton Combi Puma 80e When I use the shower the pressure seems to drop and shower goes cold! except when the central heating is on shower works fine

Does the red status led in the centre of the control board come on when hot water is drawn? You need to remove ONLY the front decorative cover to see the control board, two fixing screws at the base of it. If not the boiler won't fire when the CH is off.
The trigger for this is a pressure switch, replacement of which is beyond DIY scope.

Code 13 help... Everytime I go to use the shower (a mixing system of hot and cold) Code 13-- Code 12 the system shuts down. If I just use hot or cold I am fine-- Any one?

if cold supply to boiler and shower are off the same feed this could be your problem as the boiler governs flow of hot water best of luck
