Internal leaky Shower

[brionjames]

Hi,

I have a Triton T180i shower and it seems to be leaking internally from the left hand side. What I have noticed is when the shower is turned off, if it is elevated to a head high position so that it can be attached to the wall, it leaks. What I have had to do is unscrew the head and drain the water out of the neck before I can then hang it up.

Do you think this is an easy repair job? Is it just a washer or something?

have you taken the cover off and looked. as it may appear to come from the left side as thats where the hole is in the casing for the hose.
it maybe the prd leaking.

Thanks for replying.

Yes I've had the cover off, the leak is coming from just above the stabiliser valve and below the cartridge flag.

It seeps out of the top when the shower head is raised, asthough the water is heading back up the neck and out.

have you checked the shower hose is not collapsing inside when you raise the showerhead and restricting the pipe causing excess pressure in the shower unit.

I've checked the shower neck and it's fine and the water comes out of the head ok.

The water seeps out of the top of the stabiliser valve. There is a rubber piece that sits on top about the size of a 50p. Is this supposed to block the water or should the water not be getting that far.

It's coming out of the holes on the top of the valve. There is a metal ring at the top aswell but this isn't stopping the water (and probably isn't designed to is it). Just seem to think it's probably something small but can't see what
