This question is regarding Gainsborough Ambassador Concealed - Shower Spares

Gainsborough shower mixer

Hi, I have a gainsborough concealed ambassador shower. It does not mix the hot and cold water to a constant temp. It is either very hot or very cold. When I adjust the mixer knob the water flow does not change. Would a new thermo cartridge help? Thank

It probably does just need anew cartridge however can you carry out the checks below first.

Regarding the temperaturefluctuation or cool running it could be a faulty cartridge however to checkthis, see if you can get hold of the hot supply pipe before it enters theshower or perhaps as it leaves the boiler.

If when holding this pipethe temperature fluctuates or goes cool then the problem is not with the showerbut more likely with the boiler as the shower can only deliver what the boilersends to it.        #

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