Unidentified leaking Shower

[keen2learn]

Hi i'm a long time lurker but first time poster so please go easy on me
my wife turned on the unidentified shower last night and water started pouring from the back of the shower I have searched around to try identify the issue and believe it may be a blown pressure relief valve we did replace the hose although not the shower head as the standard hose was a bit short i'm thinking this may be the cause as when I took the cover off a sticker inside said only use original hose and shower head provided with the shower I did not install this shower my self and know nothing about it all i can tell you is it is 9.5kw Im hoping with all your worldly experience you might be able to help me identify this shower many thanks in advance

Sounds like a pressure relief valve problem. Sorry, can't ID the make.

But I would advise you sheath that joined earth wire below the chocblock.

Thanks for confirming what I thought re sheathing the earth is one more thing to add to the list of repairs the person that previously owned the house was definitely a cowboy

Gainsborough I think. See if you can match the model here: http://www.shower-spares.co.uk/gainsborough_showers.html

The only parts available though is the complete insides which they call the engine.

Thats a Gainsborough shower.

PRD - short - PT N0 201-00731. about £10 + postage

make sure you sort the problem ie the damaged hose or blocked head or
you'll blow the new prd straight away.

It is indeed a gainsborough 9.5E I did post a reply to say I had finally found it but for some reason it has disappeared I removed the PRD and the rubber ball had just popped out pushed it back in put it back together good as new thanks for all your replies much appreciated
