It fits in the HW pipe, nothing system specific.

We recently had our combi boiler cleaned of scale as we had no hot water. The plumber said he could fit a filter in the HW return inlet that I could remove every so often and it would prevent scale getting into the HW heat exchanger. Where can I buy such filter?

I've turned the boiler temp down but it made no difference. If the it was the boiler plate, why would it only effect the shower in the house?

It's a shower/bath mixer tap. The problem exists on both the tap and shower side of the mixer. Wouldn't the heat exchanger affect all taps in the house?

I'll give them a call and see how much a cartridge is

The cartridge itself was fitted in a sleeve. You are right, I couldn't see inside the that, but everything else looked free from scale. I haven't ever isolated the water apart from at the main stop cock, so I doubt there will be a problem with the HW service valve

Yes I stripped it down and there was not debris inside of it. Where is the service valve to the HW supply?

Could the issue be the pressure sensing valve in the boiler at all?

Just the shower

About 6 months. But no receipt so I can't get it replaced under warranty

I opened it up. The cartridge looks pretty much new so I just flushed it under a tap and reassembled it.

I have a Baxi Duo Tec Comdensing Combi and a Thermostatic shower. For 6 months it is has been running fine but recently the shower runs hot and then cold. I can hear the boiler switching on and off every 30 secs. I've removed the shower head, adjusted the boiler temp from high to low...

Did you ever find the solution to this? I have the same problem and was looking to buy a neew thermostat but not sure it would fix the issue

I've seen a few videos which demonstrate how to adjust the hinges on a UPVC door where the handle is stiff to lift up to lock. My hinges have no obvious way to adjust them. There is a pin that runs through the centre of the butt hinges that holds the door on to the hinge, but no allen/screw...
