    As far as I know the dimensions are practically the same though the mounting holes may not match perfectly and you may need to drill some new holes

    probably part of the general 'scam' where manufacturers make cheap products and rely on follow up services and parts to make their profit i.e. replacing of a part that makes up less than 5% of the product, probably costs them a few cent to mass produce, yet costs nearly half the price of a new unit - go figure. Printers are a classic example - I needed a colour laser printer for my job cost €800 approx, replaced the ink cartridges after 6 months at a cost of €350. Also bought a labeller for €19.50 and had to get new labels at €16.50 - clearly more to be made on parts during the lifetime of the product while getting users on board with a cheap initial price.

    Must be a weakness in the pump casing, ours didnt even freeze but blew itself to bits when we ran the pump with no water pressure. Must have been hydraulic pressure alone that blew it.

    Have a kind of similar problem with 2 month old T90xr - it started just with water restrictions in the area (DUblin). At the beginning here was some strange noise (hinger tone than usual) and now it looks like only pump is working (no hot water). As far as it's on warranty (plumbing company did the work) I don't mind costs but I can't take hot shower and this is annoying. So I wonder if that's because old water tank might be dirty (as someone mentioned earlier limestone dirt in the water)? Or because recent water shut-offs when water was some kind of yellowish?

    Not being an expert here is what I would suggest:
    If you still have the manual that came with the unit following the commissioning instructions (making sure to turn off the water and electricity at the mains as per instructions). If you don't have the manual you can download a copy from their website below. It is possible that the unit has been damaged but it is worth trying.

    Hi all,

    Has anyone ever heard of the pump assembly leaking. Tennants have said that they have not been using the shower so was trying to figure a root cause as to why it was leaking. I see from previous comments that the pump assembly cannot be provided seperatley, does anyone know how much the motor and pump assembly are as one or am i better off buying a new unit instead. Thanks

    About €90 if I remember correctly, had to get two after the big freeze. Try manyooth shower center

    Where exactly is the water leeking from? It could just be a oring which needs replaceing.
