Have just installed a replacement electric shower (Gainsborough 9.5E) as the old one was broken - all works fine but water is dripping out from the underneath of the unit - seems to be coming from the inlet pipe/shower joint. This is an automatic locking joint and says not to use composite sealant so how can I stop the dripping?

What kind o pipe is going in ie copper or plastic , may be if its plastic could be slightly oval is there an insert fitted ? could also be a rough end on the edge of the pipe and the o ring is snagged .maybe pipe is not inserted fully .Take out pipe and make sure its going fully home .some times a wee smear o lubricant will do no harm try vasaline.When you insert pipe give it a tug back to ensure its locked other than that maybe someone else has diff ideas son.
Cheers Pete I'll give it a try. The pipe is copper with chrome finish.
