Fix a leaking Aqualisa shower valve quickly

Fix a leaking Aqualisa shower valve quicklyYou can buy an Aqualisa cartridge online to fix your old leaking shower valve fast and effectively from Clickon. On the older Aqualisa shower valves the main body of the valve consists of a sealed unit with a spindle protruding from the front to which the control knob is pushed on. This unit can leak around the spindle after years of service and being a sealed unit will require replacement. It is an easy job to replace the cartridge and is well within the skill of a plumber or a reasonably competent DIY enthusiast. Simply isolate the water supplies to the shower and pull of the knob which is a push fit. Remove the temperature adjuster and the retaining screws for the valve body. Pull out the sealed body unit and the old gasket seal. Wipe clean and reverse procedures. A job that will take no longer than ten or fifteen minutes in total. Turn on water and check for water tightness. It may be necessary to adjust the temperature ring to make the temperature hotter or colder by turning in one direction or the other and then centralising the ring when the desired parameters are achieved. The main consideration when purchasing an Aqualisa cartridge is the source of hot water. A Grey Aqualisa cartridge 022801 is for tanked water from a hot water cylinder or equal pressures but a Pink cartridge 022802 is used on Combination boilers or gas water heaters. The most common Aqualisa cartridge by far is the Grey 022801. Look beneath the knob and you will find the colour indicator around the spindle. Clickon is an appointed Aqualisa stockist and delivers anywhere in Britain fast.
