Issue with Aqualisa electric shower

[Bellasoph]

Hi all, hoping someone can help!


We recently bought a house with an Aqualisa Lumi electric shower, which has suddenly stopped working. When we turn it on it takes a few seconds to starting trickling, then the unit starts making a whooshing sound (like the sound a games console makes when it’s trying to cool itself down), goes to full pressure/heat for a couple of seconds, then all the water stops and the unit goes quiet again.

Anyone got any ideas? It can’t be much more than 2 years old of that as I know the bathroom was done by the previous owner and they only lived here 2 years.

I should also add that I checked the smart meter whilst this was happening and the power goes from spending £0.03/hour during the trickle stage, to about £1.20/hour as the pressure starts to change, then to £1.90/hour as the spluttering starts. Even if I have the shower all the way to cold, it does the same thing and during the spluttering bit at the end, it’s boiling water coming out, not cold.

Hi. Did you ever get this sorted as ours is doing the very same thing.
