tivolli 2 bar mixer
My tivolli 2 shower does not get hot enough for a decent shower (even though the taps run hot). Am I right in assuming that the cartage is faulty and the replacement one is your Cart 5?. Also can you point me to the tivolli 2 specific instructions for dismantling the shower and installing the cartridge as I need to know that I can do the job before I buy the cartridge.
Thank
Bryan
Yes almost certainly a faulty cartridge, unless you are on a combi boiler in which case you may have a flow rate problem, see below.
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.
If you do have a faulty cartridge then there are instructions at the foot of the cartridge page
