Hi there I've just installed a shower with a thermostatic mixer. I made sure I followed all of the manufacture's instructions regarding hot & cold feed, incoming pressure & temp etc. The shower's temp control knob shows 38 degrees as default setting and can also go up to 45 or down to 30 degrees C.
On trying testing the shower 38 degrees feels warm, turning all the way up to 45 only feels a couple of degrees warmer and likewise all the way down to 30 only feels very slightly cooler. I'm guessing I should be getting more variance?
I checked: hot & cold filters are clean/not blocked, correct mains pressure (4 bar), hot water from Baxi Duo combi boiler correct temp.
Is there anything I've missed or could it be the Thermostatic Cartridge? The company I bought it off want me to pay a £45 deposit for exchanging the cartridge for a new one. If they test the returned cartridge & it dose turn out to be a manufacturer fault I get the £45 refunded... if the are honest about what they find I guess!
Cheers!
