| Frequently Asked Questions | SPACW0004 Crosswater Thermostatic Cartridge |
Question: How do I unscrew the old cartridge out of the valve?
Answer: You can remove the old cartridge by turning it anti-clockwise. To secure the new Crosswater SPACW0004 replacement cartridge, screw it in the valve seat in the opposite direction – clockwise.
Question: Why do I need to grease the shower cartridge O-ring?
Answer: Silicone grease made for plumbing applications is important because it gives O-rings an added layer of protection. Coating the O-rings with the proper silicone lubricant makes the cartridge sit well in the valve and it saves the spare part from getting worn out early. So, greasing the 3 O-rings of a new SPACW0004 Crosswater replacement shower cartridge before installing it is vital.
Question: Why does a thermostatic cartridge fail and need replacement?
Answer: Thermostatic cartridges fail for a number of reasons including poor water quality (hard water), the cartridge has seized, damages caused by strong (or too weak) water pressure, and it gets worn out after a long time of use.
Question: Can you tell me what are the signs it’s time for me to change my shower cartridge?
Answer: When your shower water flow begins to weaken, water temperature goes up and down when using the shower, a hard to use thermostat control handle, and leaks around the handle are among the signals that point out you need a new thermostatic cartridge.
