Faulty Thermostatic Mixer Valve Shower
We have a fault on our mixer valve and hot water is bleeding in to the cold - and the combi boiler is on and off every few minutes. The bar mixer valve is constantly very warm to touch. The cold feed feels hot to touch. How can we fix it? Is it just a valve or something inside the bar mixer that could be renewed? Or does the whole thing need replacing?

Hi Philip
Yeah, it sounds like the mixer cartridge inside the bar faucet has failed and needs to be replaced. I'd remove the guts to the faucet and take it over to the local plumbing supply store... should have a replacement cartridge in stock if you are lucky! Let me know how you make out, OK? Mark |

I have a worcester 28 cdi combi will it run a thermostatic shower valve or do I need to fit a pump
I have had fitted a thermostatic shower mixer valve but I cannot adjust the temp it is either scalding hot or cold. My plumber said the valve was faulty so I replaced the cartridge but it is still the same. Could it be that if he has connected the hot and cold feeds wrong it would work like this....
I have bought a new shower and have gone for a thermostatic shower valve once connected I turned the water on and am only getting a dribble come out. I tried it without the shower valve and have got water pressure coming out the pipes. I then tried removing the gorse from the washer thinking this...
I changed a like for like thermostatic shower which is powered by a pump. However when I switch on the new shower the pump does not kick in, unless I turn on and off either the bath or basin taps? Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?
