Advise I can only really think of is to use a socket wretch rather than a adjustable, better grip. If you giving some buff an its not moving I'd try taking it off the wall and trying again with a padded vice. Failing them i'll be honest i'd be either talking to Bristan see if they will...

Hi, to remove the indice you need to unscrew that chrome ring, its a standard thread but i'll be honest, I suspect the problem your having is a build up of scale and grud on the thread it may take some force to shift is

@ Imnotaplumber Unequal pressures are not the issue. Bristan make their showers to work on a pressure ratio of 5:1 (like most companies) so unequal pressure problems will only normally pop up if your gravity hot cold mains. The biggest problem you have is that you've not given us what...

I'll be honest i seem to recall it being 46mm and the socket i have was hard to come by (many hours on the internet) if you can get the shower out the wall and large adjustabel spanner should sort it too. I know what you mean dealing with older products is always difficult, even more so when...

I don't understand why Bristan CS were unable to help you, I rang them gave them the shower code and they emailed me a copy of the instructions which includes a breakdown of the shower. Everything you required was given to me by Bristan. Hopwe this helps you out

To take the chrome shroud off you need to undo a grub screw on the underside. Once undone you can get the shroud off by pulling, the seal kit on this unit was SK1600-1 and a new cartridge is SK1600-2.

Ok so its time to call Bristan, My feeling is the cartridge thermostat is sticking. Give Bristan a ring on 0844 701 6273 they should be able to send you a replacement cartridge. Hope yopu have some luck

Normally there would be a filter in each inlet, your right be careful as they normally drop out when you remove the bar, sorry forgot to say that. But don't worry if they are lost/dropped give Bristan a ring, they are rapid with spares and staff are quite friendly. Hope you get your...

Ah ha! Then you could just be look at a blockage in the body, are you able to iso an remove the shower fromt he wall? If so it might be worth checking out the hot inlet with a pipe cleaner for blockages.

Were you able to strip the cartridge down and get to the piston?

The Bristan Comet was a bar valve from memory, is your a bar style?? If it is the Comet bar valve, there should be a grub screw on the underside of the temperature handle. Undo this and the cartridge should pull out. Once you pull it out there are two filter meshes which you can give a...

A problem such as this would normally indicate a problem with the seals, depending on which Bristan unit it is will depend on how easy they are replace. As to my knowledge there are a few lol Have you had any success in removing the cartridge? If so send a picture to "[email protected]"...

A problem such as this could indicate and problem with either the pump or the shower itself. My advise at this point is to start at the shower, as this will remove it from the list of problems so to say. With these Bristan showers the cartridges have an internal thermostat which can stick...
