Herring_Brother Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi All, First post here (in a long time anyway!) - Got to the house o(in the Gers) over easter to find that, amongst broken pipes/damaged water meter etc, my thermostatic shower unit appears to be playing up, and will only run lukewarm when it previously ran hot.Any thoughts on if this could also be cold damage, or would there be something else going on?many thanks,HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemonimo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It was probably the cold weather in February. Mine did exactly the same and the replacement mitigeur and labour were covered by insurance[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG MAC Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 With the damage you have had to pipes etc elsewhere probably worth checking the inline strainers in the supplies for blockages? Likewise woth cleaning the cartridge out before spending more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herring_Brother Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Will definately give that a go first - if it has joined the choir invisible though, does anybody know the best (i.e. cheapest) place to get a replacement from? TaHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG MAC Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I bought a couple from Lidl would you believe! seem ok. I bought them in the UK as I had seen them in a French branch previously.http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&biw=1404&bih=668&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=ef4T655YN3TCOM:&imgrefurl=http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/thermostatic-shower-mixer-24-99-lidl-124995&docid=arNvG_c-L6PcNM&imgurl=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v152/God-speed/Misc/MixerBox.jpg&w=500&h=269&ei=4KHoT4XPHoq38gPN3L21Cg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=166&vpy=166&dur=5866&hovh=165&hovw=306&tx=214&ty=75&sig=115714427563331530713&page=1&tbnh=109&tbnw=202&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The BIG MAC link ones are identical to the ones I got from Castorama some few years ago, excellent quality and have worked well all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
