Why does my aqualisa shower drip

First of all, how do you know that the O-ring needs to be changed? This could be a valve designated for your shower. To do so, use a screwdriver. To do so, get a pair of pointy-nose pliers and remove the retaining clip. First, chop off the old O-rings with a stationery knife. Rub some grease on the spot and slide the new O-rings in place. Set the cartridge back and put the retaining clip in place. Then, put the handle back together.

Those were all the steps for replacing an O-ring. Keep in mind, that a cartridge is on the pricier side. So you may have to dish some money out on the project. To replace the cartridge, follow the previous procedure up to step 3.

Then, just install a new cartridge. Question: How do you remove Aqualisa shower cover? Answer : Most Aqualisa shower covers are pretty easy to remove. All you have to do is pull off the loose attachments by hand. For the tighter ones, use a screwdriver to pry them off.

But if the cover is set with screws, you may need to remove it with a screwdriver. To remove the flexible hose you must hold this button down and unscrew the handset from the hose connection.

Opto head-kit If you look at the base of the handle on the shower head just above where the hose connects , you will see a thin rectangular slot on the front and back of the handle which should be dark grey in colour.

If you press down on the slot on the back of the handset - the hose connector will be released and should slide free from the handset, you can then unscrew the fitting from the end of the hose. Aqualisa products are very low maintenance and there is very little for you to do to keep them in good working order.

If you live in a hard water area, which is prone to scale and calcification, you may need to descale the shower head every few months or as and when needed. We have found that an effective way to do this is to soak the head in a mixture of water and white vinegar, then the flakes of scale should rinse away.

To avoid rapid scale build up, we advise that after use you tilt the shower head at an angle, which will allow any excess water to drain away. When cleaning an Aqualisa product, we advise that you use warm soapy water or non-abrasive bathroom cleaning products. You can register your shower by clicking on this link. To replace a digital pumped outlet with a standard outlet, you will need to isolate the water and the power to the shower and remove the pumped processor unit.

Once the pipe work and cables have been connected, turn the power and water back on to the shower. The Midas has plastic control knobs and a standard shaped bar valve. It also has slightly lower flow rates to the Midas The Midas has metal control knobs, a different shaped bar valve and also has a different style head kit to the Midas The main differences between these two models is the visual design of the controls and the head kits.

Also, the Quartz single outlet model has a boost feature whereas the Visage single outlet does not have a boost feature. We would advise to check for an air lock within the pipe work to begin with as this can cause the pump to become noisy. A step by step guide to clear an air lock is available in the FAQs.

An air leak is where there is a leak somewhere on the supply to the shower and while it is in use the air is sucked in through this gap. If you think you are experiencing this, please contact your plumber. Cavitation means that air bubbles are being created within the pipe-work and are being introduced to the shower which is affecting the flow.

Draw down occurs when there are restrictions in the shower's hot and cold supplies, such as scale. These restrictions can cause an amount of suction in the pipe-work when the shower is in use, which then sucks air down the open vent pipe. The open vent pipe is the pipe which rises from the top of the hot water cylinder and hangs over the cold water tank. There is a simple method of testing for draw-down, you simply run the shower and then hold a glass of water up to the end of the open vent pipe.

If the water is sucked down the pipe then draw-down is occurring, in which case please contact your plumber. The guarantee period on a processor when purchased with a complete shower is 5yrs.

He turned out to be a right shit. Not that that helps you any……………………………….. I have had a similar problem with our wall mounted Aqualisa, I just opened it up to have a look. The problem was the Thermostatic Cartridge which is a simple replacement.

Not sure, but we had a aqualisa shower that was put in in the late eighties, was great and was working fine when we refurbished the bathroom 12 years ago.

Then got another aqualisa shower that broke after a few years leaking very badly, we even had to have the wall on the other side replastered!
