No. That's normal.
If the water pressure drops slightly the "anti-scald" device kicks in to prevent you being boiled by the reduced flow.
Usually if someone turns on another tap somewhere if you are on shared supply.

No the water never changes pressure. Its cold for about 10 seconds then hot for about 20 seconds , And it keeps on doing it
Slowly turn the temperature down and see when it stops flucturating, is that now to cold?if so I suggest one of the elements is not working.possible cause micro switch not working,If a triton the wiring could be burnt out.
If the shower has its own pump --maybe a power shower--it could be the pump which faulty.Just a thought
Just a thought. Are you running a washing machine or dish washer or flushing other toilets while the water is actually running? I wonder if this could cause a fluctuation in the water temperature.
I would say that you're running the shower's thermostat on the cusp of it kicking in and out. Does it have a temperature setting as well as flow adjustment? If so juggle them until you get a constant temp.
probably means someone is using water somewhere else like another tap or even the washing machine, happens to me all the time.
