Hi- Installed an Aqualisa off the wall electro thermostatic
shower with pumped processor for gravity system about 8 years ago which still works ok apart from a drip from the shower head thats getting worse. Spoke to aqualisa who told me I would need a new processor - £265:00 !
Is there anything I can check / change first please.

Hi Paul - finally got round to fixing my dripping shower head. Followed your advice to the letter and it worked first time. Thank you very much for the info.

yeh, they fed me that nonsense also.
THERE WILL BE WATER AND ELECTRICITY, DISCONNECT IT.
I disconnected unit electrical and water supplies, opened up inlet section, applied some silicone grease around the spring loaded seals (must be silicone to avoid damaging rubber seals) put it back together and hey presto!
The spring loaded seals may actually be stuck in as they where on mine so carefully remove them and apply grease.
I also stretched the springs a little as initially they stuck again after a few uses. The seals+springs are in the part that hot&cold feeds enter the unit.
whilst you have it apart it is also worth cleaning the inlet filters!
Have fun, and remember to remove supply before opening as there will be some water.
You'll also need an old towel to dry up water that spills out when taking it apart.
Take note of how it comes apart, better still take photos as you go.
Also, the unit may require to be repowered a couple of times after reassembly to get it to start.
Mine stopped after 3 years, I have now put this down to excessive water temp and adjusted my water thermostat accordingly.
