no hot water coming from our thermostatic shower
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.13 PM
any help would be great... we have a thermostatic shower in our bathroom with a pump and extra boost feature... it has been running fine for years but all of a sudden the water stopped coming out of it for 24 hrs and when it did it was cold not hot even on the boost setting..we have hot water in all the bathroom and kitchen taps and the heating is working ok... any one have any ideas?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

hello
nothing to do with your boost pump boost pump is to give better pressure and higher flow rate.
i think you are living in area where the water is hard so scale has been built over the years inside your thermostat preventing from sensing the correct temperature.
clean cartridge or replace mixer.
Thanks

It sounds like the thermostatic cartridge has gone. This happens from time to time.
If you have a "big brand" shower such as Bristan or Mira then it may be under warranty and you may be able to get a replacement thermostatic cartridge. If it is unbranded I would just buy a replacement mixer valve as sometimes the thermostatic cartridges can be as expensive as a new shower.
