Gainsborough shower problem
Ok the font's of all knowledge who can tell me how to sort this.
My daugther has a Gainsborough 9.5 scl shower that has started pi**ing water out of the back today. So a call to Dad for help as usual.
On investigation i find that the prd in the output pipe has fired it's ball ( Suspect dodgy hose or blocked headset)
here's a pic of the article in question
 
Description
So what holds the soft ball in?? Is it just jammed into the pipe so that the inner seat clamps round ( deforms the ball and grips it) the ball.??
As usual thanks in advance.
Gary
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Had the same fault on the same type of shower - mine was 8.5kw.
Is water in the shower overheating ? - mine was red hot - knackered thermostat.
I think the ball arrangement is an anti-scold device i.e. water is diverted down the drain tube rather than up to the shower head to prevent
scolding.
I got mine reseated but it just overheated and did it again.
I rang the Gainsborough helpline who were very helpful, they offered to send an engineer to repair the shower, but the cost was the same price as
buying a new shower unit.
So, I bought a new one and fitted it myself - piece of cake to fit.

Intresting .

We have the 10.5 KW Delux and it has started tripping the 30A breaker ocasionally. I have notices as well it is a bit hotter (that was my orignal
complaint - not hot enough)........ mmmm
** Why do manufacturers put in an antiscald valve it means I struggle to get a hot shower in winter as our water supply is so cold.... Shower was
right up until about may when we backed it off a bit. Girlfriend always complaining show was not hot enough, for me it was OK.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.
