Aqualisa Aquarian 214004 cartridge

My customer has an Aquarian valve, the cartridge is playing up (fluctuating temperature). As the shower is now getting on for 15 years old and the new cartridge is nearly the cost of a complete valve is there another shower that you know of that will replace it easily without major changes to pipework please ? Thanks

Regarding the temperature fluctuation or cool running, it could be a faulty cartridge. However to check this if you have the shower fed from a combi boiler, see if you can get hold of the hot supply pipe before it enters the shower or perhaps as it leaves the boiler.


If when holding this pipe the temperature fluctuates or goes cool, then the problem is not with the shower but more likely with the boiler, as the shower can only deliver what the boiler sends to it.

Disregard the temperature at the taps as they have a different flow rate.


Because of the pipe centres etc we know of no other shower that will easily replace this one.

Hi Barrie
Thanks for your swift and comprehensive reply.

I checked the boiler flow rates and temperature (it is a combi) and it's constant (30Kw combi provides good flow rate etc). The shower valve is run almost directly off the bath tap feeds so I don't think we have a boiler problem.

I've forwarded your comments to my customer and suggested he go for more of the same or we'll have to take tiles off and alter the pipework to install a different valve..

Again thanks for your help,

Rick
