URGENT Aqualisa Quartz Electric Shower scaled up.

Hi all,

Can the shower be descaled? It's coughing and spluttering (maybe it's got Covid 19?!)

MTIA.

Very hard water around the area Jim.

Can be done but not commercially viable to do so for customer, may as well buy a new “engine” which will only take 1/2 hour to change.

At home however I dismantled and descaled my own with a couple of goes of DS3 - came back like new , but took ages hence the above.

It is actually in a house I'm renting. How much is a new "engine"? And can I buy off the shelf?

'Ages' how long is that @Ben-gee ?

About £100, although just googled and saw a 9.5 for £78.
Took about three hours on and off, some waiting for ds3 to work etc so doable at home but like I say not really viable to get paid for!

If you’re renting shouldn’t landlord pay it?
