    Repairing Mixer Shower Tap Handle

    Hello, My shower mixing bar's flow control handle (left) has broken today. Instead of being able to control the flow of water, the handle 'slips' and does not quite grip what it needs to internally to open/close the valve. The value is stuck slightly open, so the shower is running. However...

    Help switching/installing Drayton Wiser Kit 2 with Danfoss RX1?
