We had a concealed Pura mixer shower installed in our bathroom in July 2018.
IVTCV – 120mm x 280mm
This year it's slowly been getting hotter and hotter having to turn the knob more and more to mix in any cold to the point that there was barely any cold water
All the other taps in the house were fine so we contacted Pura who sent us a new TC100 - Thermostatic Cartridge.
We got a plumber who replaced it and we got cold and hot water mixing correctly again. Problem solved, but....
However, now if we have a shower and someone else in the house turns another hot tap on then the shower gets noticeably colder and vice versa, this never used to be the case as the thermostatic valve would do it's job and instantly readjust the mix of the hot and cold water so you wouldn't notice the change of the temperature in the shower. You would notice the pressure drop but never the temperature changing like it does now.
So any ideas? I guess the plumber should have checked this.
Could it be the thermostatic cartridge replacement is broken? Or a different problem?
I have a Valiant ecoTECexclusive835 boiler if that matters, but as said, everything was working great into recently.
Thanks.
