Aqualisa cartridge grey ring 022801 - Hydramax shower

Reviewed 10 years ago by Toby Ambler
Very simple installation. Here are my tips:

1. Longest part of the installation is the drain down. Plan ahead and locate the stop taps etc...

2. Use the correct torque screw adapter to undo the body screws. Use a socket ratchet and remove the screws slowly. The ratchet will give you enough purchase to loosen the screws

3.Do not re-use the large self tapping screws that hold the cartridge to the body. Use the new ones.

4. When tightening the 4 body screws use a screwdriver attachment to prevent you from over tightening and stripping the body. Tighten slowly until you have achieved a good seal.

As the cartridge has a limited life span anticipate having to change the body as the self tapping holes will eventually strip.

If the shower head drips after installation undo the shower hose leading into the wall. If there is no leakage the cartridge is fine. All you are experiencing is a water dump from the shower head.
