Hi
Our Mira Excel shower was dripping so I replaced the cartridge. Although it now turns off properly there is a persistent leak which appears to come from the back of the cartridge but only when the shower is turned on. This suggests that the leak is coming from the outflow channels at the back of the cartridge where it mates with the brass body of the valve assembly into which the cartridge slides. There are 2 ‘O’ rings (actually oblong rings) which fit round the outflow channels on the cartridge. These appear to be correctly sited over the outflow channel (only 1 of which is actually used depending on the orientation of the cartridge in the brass body). I have liberally greased the ‘0’ ring seatings and the brass body is clean.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Has anyone any suggestions?
Bob
