This question is regarding Aqualisa Grey Gravity/Pumped Thermostatic Cartridge with Gasket - 022801

aqualisa thermostatic cartiridge

Hi i had a dripping control section of my aqualisa shower the plumber took out a blue thermostatic cartridge and replaced oit with a grey one . it is now dripping from the shower head constantly . would this be due to a different cartiridge being the wrong type fitted or something else ? all dials are in the normal turned off position.

If i should have had another blue 1 fitted please can you give me a code number and price.



Thank you

You will have to find out which system you have.

Pink for a combi or multipoint and grey any system with balanced (equal) pressures.

Removethe on/off knob should just pull forward however it can be a bit of abu**er then remove the 4 screws that hold the temperature knob in place,remove the temperature knob and then you will see the colour of yourcartridge.

If you already have the cartridge and want to carry on and replace it you will have to turn the water off to the shower.

Thenremove the cartridge you will need to remove the 4 large screws at theside of the cartridge these have posidrive or ‘Torx’ T25 heads dependingon there age.

Pull the cartridge forward to remove.

Beforefitting the new cartridge you should replace the small ‘O’ ring at therear of the body this is another bu**er to change……(something like acrochet hook or the sort of thing that dentists use will help)

Itis not always necessary to replace this ring however if there anyproblems with the cartridge, the first question you will be asked is didyou replace the ‘O’ ring? if the answer is no! then you will be told tophone back once it has been replaced.

Whenyou refit the cartridge make sure that the slot, (usually on the rightof the body ) the gasket and the body all line up properly thenretighten the screws.

Onthe older versions you have to reuse the original brass screws if youhave this type be careful not to over tighten the screws because thebrass inserts in the body may split, on a few occasions you may findthey have split when you remove the old cartridge  if this happens then you will probably have to replace the body.

Refit the temperature control knob  (newscrews supplied) the fit the on / off knob, turn the water back on andcheck for leaks, if everything is OK remove clothes and have a shower!!!
