mira gem 88 leaking

[mickcoulson]

hi.... this is doing my head in. my mira gem 88 exposed valve shower is leaking, but it only leaks when I have the shower hose connected. if I take off the hose connection to the shower block and turn the shower on and off there is no leak from the shower block outlet hole. when I connect the hose and turn the shower on and off the outlet and hose starts dripping.
strange...any ideas
cheers

You can get a service kit to renew the seals in the spindle.

when the shower is turned off and the hose is connected it leaks at the outlet hole. when the shower is turned off and the hose is not connected there is no leak at the outlet hole so the seals must be ok in the shower block.

Standing water pressure in the hose back feeding and leaking through the seals.
