This question is regarding Redring Slimline 650 9.5kw - Chrome (53558202) - Shower Spares

Starts ok then gets scalding hot

Had this fitted for my elderly mother, and worried! Was going to buy a complete new using and have it fitted where the other one was, but wondered if you can suggest a replacement part for the problem - save on time and expense.

The things to check first are:

1 That the main valve coming into your house is fully open.

2 Then check that the valve on the line to the shower is fully open.

If these valves are not fully open then there may not be enough water getting to your shower.

 

Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

The other possibility is a faulty flow/stabilizer valve not allowing the correct amount of water into the shower.

A rough check is to remove the shower head turn temperature control to fully hot the water coming out of the hose should be a bit more than a dribble then turn to fully cold and it should be coming out at full flow.

If there is not much difference between the two then you could have a faulty flow valve.

Carry out this check after you check the inlet valves.

Hi again - my brother is going to check all your advice out tonight - he thinks he has already done as you have suggested except possibly checking that the temp dial is catching within the unit. If this is ok, do you have any further suggestions?
