I’m just renewing the cartridge on my thermostatic shower (Bristan Artisan). I seem to do this about every three years, and at £40+ a go, I’d rather not keep paying for new ones.
I’m wondering what makes them fail: are they clogging up with scale? (I’m not in a hard water area, but do get a bit of scale building up in the kettle). If so, I wonder if the old cartridge would come back to life if I soaked it in kettle descaler for a week (or a month, or a year…). Any suggestions?
