Advantages of Changing Your Shower Valve Thermostatic Cartridge

Don’t you hate it when your Bristan shower tap leaks? Or when the water flow is weak? These tap issues, including temperature control failure, signal trouble with the thermostatic cartridge. Replacing the cartridge can solve these problems.

Cartridges breakdown due to excessive water hardness and wear and tear.

Water hardness causes sedimentary buildup that leads to calcification clogging the cartridge. This gives rise to blocking water from freely flowing to your shower tap outlet. A mixer valve constantly mixes hot and cold water. Over time, cracks can form around the cartridge barrel resulting in leaks that start small but, eventually, will get worse. A leaking tap means higher water bill due to water wastage.

Advantages of Cartridge Replacement:

• Economical. It saves you money and conserves water.
• Shower time is more efficient and enjoyable when water flow is normal.
• You can shower at a water temperature you prefer.
