Hi All,

I thought my Aqualisa mixer was the 600 model (it was here when I
moved in in 1993), the parts look similar to the ones on the Aqualisa
web site - *but* the cartridge I have taken out doesn't look like the
ones offered for replacement.

The original one is white and grey with some brass parts to it - the
ones offered as replacements all seem to the plastic. Is this right? I
think the part # is 022802 (multipoint (pink)).

Is it that the range of replacement parts doesn't look exactly like
the ones coming out because they have gone over to plastic.

Thanks, Tom

Can't remember what model I have - but it's old. A phone call to them got
a replacement cartridge which looked rather different but fitted and
worked just fine.

As regards the pink/grey you'll have seen from the part diagram/
description (and numbers) on their site, these cartridges come in the
options of pink (multipoint) 022802 and grey (thermostatic) 022801. If
you have doubts, I'd echo the advice to phone or email their technical
support. There are design changes on parts for these old showers. I
spent a couple of days looking for an outlet assembly - simple plastic
screw and plug - only to find there was a design change which hadn't
been fully updated on all sections of their site and where many
independent suppliers' sites still showed the old version. Correct
current version turned out to be what I'd been show at the first local
supplier I'd visited

Thanks for the replies - very quick too - I've contacted AL by email
and awaiting their response.

Just a thought, when the shower drips from the shower head ie. water
is not getting perfectly turned off, where does the problem lie? Does
the whole cart need to be replaced? or could I get away with just
replacing seals and rings etc - there is a particularly awkward one
that is seated at the connecting end of the cartridge shaft where the
cartridge connects/goes into the plastic shower body to form a
moveable seal ...

Just wondered. Any advice would be welcome on this.
