temperature adjustment (2)

Hi,

refers to previous question on temperature adjustment



Tried as suggest, as you say, messy ! No difference.



I have a basin off the same line close to the shower, when shower is cold with the new cartridge, if I turn the basin tap on, I get very hot water.



Same applies with the old cartridge, but this starts off very hot and over time (5 minutes) the 'too hot to touch' shower converts to 'luke warm' but the basin remains hot - this was what set me off on the cartridge chase in the first place !







Regards

The only other thing I can suggest is testing the pressures of the hot and cold at the shower, as these cartridges work best when you have close to balanced pressures.

If that does not do the trick then you may well have a faulty new cartridge.

The basin is different from the shower in terms of flow and thermostatic adjustment so should be ignored.
