Help

My Aquatronic 3 shower (warranty out last April) unless I turn control onto full heat , which then only produces warm water and the water flow slows, also sounds the shower emit are like boiling water, I have cleaned the inlet filter, which I must add was not very dirty, so could you please advise my next step? If a part is required would I be able to fit it? Thank you

Sorry for the delay in replying

 

Yes I think you have a micro switch that is stuck in the on position this is keeping one of the elements energised even after you switch the shower off.

Until you trace which switch this is, switch the shower on and off using the pull cord or isolation switch, this should only be regarded as a temporary fix.

Continued use can cause the Thermal Cut Out inside the shower to fail and it may also cause the isolation switch to fail.

You may also have a faulty element, to check see below.

 

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to the elements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.

 

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.
