This question is regarding Gainsborough 950 GSI / 1080 GSI - Shower Spares

Inlet filter

Is it possible to remove and clean out the inline filter?

My shower gives inconsistant temperature so I thought of the filter as it is the simplest first.

If I want to check the heating element circuits what readings should I be looking for across the terminals? Will there be power across the terminals when the selector switch is in the off position? Any other position the water is running and I do not want to do electric checks then!

Thanks

There is sometimes a filter in the inlet spigot of the solenoid.

 The things to check firstare:

1 That the main valve cominginto your house is fully open.

2 Then check that the valve on the line to the shower isfully open.

If these valvesare not fully open then there may not be enough water getting to your shower to cool it properly the overheatsafety device will turn the power offuntil it cools Then it all starts again

Make sure that the shower head isclean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind thehand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hosealthough it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

The other possibility is a faultyflow/stabilizer valve not allowing the correct amount of water into the shower.

A rough check is to remove theshower head turn temperature control to fully hot the water coming out of thehose should be a bit more than a dribble then turn to fully cold and it shouldbe coming out at full flow.

Ifthere is not much difference between the two then you could have a faulty flowvalve.

Carry out this checkafter you check the inlet valves.
