Aqualisa Combi Thermo Cartridge

(Hope I put this in the right section)

After turning off the unit there is still a constant drip, won't stop, coming from the shower hose of my Aqualisa Opto (thermo mixer valve).

When I removed the Combi Thermo Cartridge (pink) and opened it, I noticed that a small O Ring (about 10 mm) was slightly damaged on one end. Looks to me like it could be the cause! If I were to replace the 0 Ring might that solve the problem or is there a lot more to it than that?

Just priced a new cartridge on Ebay. Costs E158 shipped in from the UK, very pricey! Is there an easier, less expensive alternative out there?

Thanks.

Try the O ring first .

Did as you suggested, bought an O ring in a local diesel engine suppliers (didn't have anything suitable in any hardware store), cost 50c. Slipped it on using one of the wife's crochet needles, put the unit back together - problem solved, no more leak!

Thanks;)
