Cleaning or replacing the thermostatic cartridge
(temperature inconsistency)
1. IMPORTANT Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the water
supplies for the shower are isolated. Once isolated, turn the shower on
to release internal pressure. If unsure contact a qualified tradesman.
2. Remove the caps, unscrew the lever (where fitted) and loosen the grub
screws. Pull away the temperature and flow handles, then remove the
wall plate. Unscrew and remove the temperature shroud ring.
3. Note the position of the black temperature override stop and
thermostatic cartridge before removal as they must be refitted in the
same position. Once noted, pull the black temperature override stop
from the cartridge and remove the cartridge retaining nut using a
suitable spanner. Remove and clean the cartridge by rinsing thoroughly
under cold water to remove any build up of limescale or debris.
4. If necessary replace the cartridge. A replacement cartridge can be
obtained by contacting customer service on 01959 560010.
5. Refit the cartridge into the valve body, tighten the cartridge retaining
nut using a suitable spanner and refit the black temperature override
stop. Reinstate the water supply to ensure there are no leaks.
6. Refit the components in the reverse
order of instruction 2.
