This question is regarding Carbon Motor Brushes (IN Brass Casing) (Pair) - HYDR-01102

Triton Aquatronic leak

Thanks for supplying new Sintech brushes 01102, main problem I had in fitting was removing the motor. I had to unscrew the solenoid valve (two screws) and the pump housing (two screws), then the motor + pump came out of the shower housing. I couldn't pull the motor off the pump in situ. The pump has two water joinings, one with an O-valve into the mixer, the other into the top of the solenoid. Now when I re-fitted and turned the water on, water pours out of the pump joining, mainly towards the solenoid. Any tips on how to re-seal please.



Also this took 2 hours so far, including finding the water stopsocks, and a torch., and also removing the tiny piece of old carbon brush (4mm?) that fell into the motor. Top tip - apply a dust sheet to the bath / shower tray to catch the carbon dust - I didn't, they were filthy.

I am not sure I follow you, however......

To replace the brushes you are correct you have to removethe motor and pump unit.

 

You will need to remove the screws that hold the pump inplace also the solenoid screws, you will need to slacken off the screws (Butnot remove) the screws that hold the temperature valve in place.

 

When refitting make sure that all the ‘O’ rings are properlyin place, this is the most common fault when you are pushing the parts backtogether you must make sure that they all enter each other absolutely squarely ifnot then the ‘O’ rings have a tendency to roll back, which will cause them toleak.
