    Any idea where I might be able to find a 'Sam Alia' thermostatic shower valve?

    Just bought a house and the bathroom is 17+ years old - the shower valve is broken and if we can't find a replacement we'll be stuck with it until we rip the whole thing out. Not ideal when it's great condition otherwise. Full detail is Sam Alia Mixer Thermostat ref 3008188 & 3008181

    Non thermostatic shower mixers.

    Do all thermostatic showers have a high temperature limit say 40C or so as I notice that all Spanish Hotels have no limits, one can get scalding hot water from them at max settings or are they simply non thermostic?, They seem to give very consistent temperatures at any intermediate setting. If...

    replace thermostatic mixer shower valve (mains pressure unvented system boiler system)

    With a thermostatic mixer showers, can you replace the unit, in a mains pressure unvented system boiler configuration, by just turning the cold mains off at the stopcock when the water supply enters the property? Will the hot and cold water stop flowing if you turn the mains water off?

I have found an instruction to do this HERE but cannot...

    Hi all, I have had a replacement cartridge sent through to me by Bristan for our 1503 shower unit. I tried installing it today using the instructions sent through to me, however upon fitting (correctly as far as I could tell!) the shower seemed to leak water via the front threaded bit. This...

    Water hammer with smart thermostatic valve

    I have gradually fitted smart TRV's to all of the radiators in our house, and in general we are very pleased with them. However, it has become apparent that quite often, when the timing makes the TRV switch off, this sets off water hammer in that radiator. This is easily fixed by running a hot...

    Thermostatic pump overrun temperature?

    A simple question, but so far I've not found a definitive answer:- Some older boilers use a thermostatically controlled pump overrun switch built into the boiler thermostat. They are generally factory set and not adjustable. At what temperature should it switch? I'm specifically referring to...
