Plumbing Question

Hi all, I have a triple valve which runs the shower, tap and hand held shower. This was installed around 18months ago and was running fine until now......


Now, when running the bath at full hot water setting it just shuts off suddenly. You can run it on 1/4 turn although this talks a while to fill the bath!


Just wondered whether it was the combi boiler not being able to cope with the amount of water wanting heating or perhaps the thermostatic valve is u/s. Either way it is a pain!


Thanks

    What shuts off? The flow of water, the boiler or the water from the tap suddenly starts flowing cold?
    If my post hasn't helped you, then don't click the 'Thanks' button! ;)

    Hi, the water suddenly shuts off. If you change it to cold or less hot then it flows again.
