thermo mixer is not as hot as before

[theWilse]

Hi all


I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on this:

I've a mixer bar type shower, I believe it's a thermostatic job.
All has been working well for a couple months, but a few days ago, it doesn't want to chuck out hot water. Even when you move it to the "50" degrees marker it's still not hot enough??

I'm presuming scale or something is blocking the water input?
I seem to remember (although I can't find them) the instructions saying there is a removeable cartridge inside? anyone know which end I remove this?

The hot water tap for the bath, below the shower, does give hot water, so it's definately a shower issue.

All help appreciated.

no idea... bought 1 year ago, and just fitted a few months ago.

it's a simple nickel plated brass made mixer shower, like the ones you see everywhere, not electric, sorry I can't help anymore??

usually you remove the end with the temp knob on.
