Hi Ian, yep you're right. Stops the whining even if you only turn it on briefly without it switching to supplying HW. Can these be serviced as I looked for the valve assembly and at £250 it might just have to be one we have to get used to. Is it an easy job if it can be done, or can it be done...

Thanks Ian, I'll try this tomorrow when it fires up from cold. :D

Sorry Julia, just saw your other post. I would wait and see if you can rectify any problem with your boiler first. If there is no hot water getting to the shower at all then there is another issue. The flow regulator is just a small valve that should have come with the shower that goes on the...

Do you still have HW from other taps. Try only turning them on so the flow rate is slow and see if you get hotter water. If you have "hot" water from other taps but cold from the shower (even with the flow turned down) then there is a separate problem with the shower. I think it sounds like Hugh...

Have taken the cover off just to determine if the sound was coming from the fan. It isn't. Pressures are fine, 1 bar when cold and 2 bar when running. It only happens during the initial warm up which is why I was wondering about the EV.

Have you tried turning the thermostatic control on the shower all the way round in one direction and then the other to determine which way increases the temperature. Sometimes the pipes in older houses are fitted the oppsosite way and so the original installer may have installed the cartridge...

I have an Alpha 280e. When first turned on after about 10 mins it emits a loud continuous whining. This lasts for 2-3 mins then stops. It only happens when CH is on, not DHW. The expanssion vessel was recharged last year, and the sound seems to be coming from that area, could it be linked as it...

I have a gainsborough ambassador shower that used these aqualisa cartridges which was dripping as yours is. If you can get hold of an O ring then it would be worth a try but I couldn't find one for mine and there was nothing on removal of the old one to have caused the dripping. The replacement...
