Do i need this cartridge?

I have a Valliant ecoMAX 800 bolier for heating and hot water. The water temperature on my Aqualisa Aquavalve 609 is now fluctuating between hot and cold. Reading other peoples comments i am pretty sure i need to replace the cartridge. The one in the shower is grey but given the boiler i have do i need this pink one instead?

First the cartridge needs changed for a pink one if the problem persists after the cartridge change see below.

However regarding the temperature fluctuation or cool running, 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.

The problem is that any boiler engineer will blame the shower cartridge for a fault with the boiler intill he knows that you have the correct cartridge fitted.
