PRD in shower
Not sure if this is strictly DIY..
but I have an Aqualisa shower which has been leaking from the bottom the past few months I only got around to calling them today - apparently there might be a blockage somewhere and the PRD has gone. Anyone know how hard they are replace? I have one on its way to me. Also, I have to find the blockage somewhere - is it most likely to be in the flexi pipe? this problem only occured about 3 months of having the showr installed. |

I have a brass bodied flush valve which occasionally leaks from the temperature adjustment lever. Looking at my parts list it is likely to be the thermostatic element open/close shaft seal O ring, which is integral to the element so I ordered one ready for when it next got worse. My flexi pipe is simple enough to check by unscrewing both ends at the head and at the wall outlet. |

in the flexi pipe? this problem only occured about 3 months of having the showr installed. Has the shower head scaled up? We have a different shower, and usually the clue as to when the head needs descaling is that the circuit breaker trips. Last time however it blew the PRD. Oh, this is a 'spare' shower in the 'spare' bathroom, so I never get to use it and see how 'thin' the spray has become. Guests never mention anything until the water is cold or there's water running down the wall Al. |

Head seems to be fine, and I checked the flexi bit and it also seems to be fine Doesn't a shower unit have to be sealed to prevent water going in? i.e with somesort of material (silicone?) on the outside? |
