Question: How do I know if I should change the cartridge in my shower?
Answer: There are three main indications that the thermostatic cartridge needs replacement:
1. Unstable water temperature when showering.
2. Water flow slows down to a trickle.
3. Stiff thermostat control handle.
If you are experiencing one or all of the issues above, getting a new Vola VR3277K
shower cartridge can potentially make your shower run as good as new.
Question: Should I use silicone grease when installing the Vola thermostatic cartridge?
Answer: Yes, you must apply a thin coating of plumber’s silicone grease on the O-ring of the new Vola VR3277K. Doing this will protect the O-ring from premature wear and tear.
Question: I turn the handle but the temperature is always hot.
Answer: If your cold water supply is not clogged, this can be caused by a Vola thermostatic cartridge gone defective.
Question: My shower is leaking from the handle. What should I do?
