Electric shower constant trickle

Posts: 531 Forumite
My shower (a Showerforce 1000 thermostatic) trickles constantly. We have finally managed to get the front off (bolt was rusted in) but can't tell why or what part needs replacing, I thought maybe something would be obviously cracked or broken but nothing is.
Can anyone help, I really must avoid calling someone out as I have no money to pay them!

Sorry, could be a number of things. Hope this helps:

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

Thanks Bob, but I already had that diagram in the manual and I'm none the wiser as it all looks as it should to me.
The inside of the control knob *might* have had a bit broken inside but it's hard to tell. I could perhaps order a new control.
If anyone knows of a plumber/handyman in the London area who's not too expensive, let me know, as knowing my luck I won't be able to avoid getting one and into debt..!0 -
Try giving the manufacturer a call. My sister had a similar problem with her shower, she called the manufacturer, they advised her which part was required, they supplied the part (at a cost), I fitted it, problem solved.
Sorry, can't remember the make of her shower!0 -
Apparently the new part (a valve) is almost £80 (quoted from Showerdoc). For that price, it will have to drip!! I'd rather collect the water in a bucket and use it to flush the loo...0

My girlfriend had a shower which fed off a combi system, she had the same problem a thermostat valve at £80 a time. Within a 18 month period she got through 2!!0

Just a general point, as the OP has a pumped shower (the Showerforce 1000 Thermostatic is a boost pump if I've got it right), you can not pump a shower where the hot water comes from a combi boiler. To the above poster, is the water especially hard? It may be worth asking the shower manufacturer if they make a more suitable, alternative valve.Will_it_make_me_rich wrote:My girlfriend had a shower which fed off a combi system, she had the same problem a thermostat valve at £80 a time.

Yep mine is a pumped shower, it runs off an immersion tank as I have no boiler.0
