These cartridges are suitable for use on all water systems and being thermostatic they ensure that water temperatures are kept at a constant level. The bonus of this being that you won’t be shot with icy cold or boiling hot water, a brilliant feature for households with vulnerable people.
These cartridges are never cheap, but the plumbworld supplied item is probably the best price. I can't fault it, comes with all the screws gasket and O ring, easy to fit (once you get the water off!). And on my gravity system does a a prefect job of mixing. The only problem you may have is in setting the pins that control over hot water when set to maximum hot flow, fiddly, and in my case I used trial and error to get it right. That of course is nothing to do with plumbworld, anyway a recommended purchase, our shower has never been so 'controllable', I should have fitted a new unit years ago!

I replaced the O rings on the shower valve to try and cure a leak. Despite several unsucessful attempts, I believe due to the fact that the O rings supplied in the third party repair kits were incorrectly sized, I finally decided to replace the valve. The O rings that came with the valve looked correct and sure enough the new shower valve sealed first time. Replacing the rear seal was not the easiest of jobs but patience paid off. Who knows I might now even have a perfectly good back up valve. A word of caution about buying non original manufacturer parts, don't!

We've had 2 plumbers out about the cartridge. One who was unable to help and one who said he didn't want to touch it. After 7 months of the kids sharing my shower I'd had enough. Ordered the part which arrived on the expected date. Husband fitted the part. He said that the instructions were easy enough to understand. The elusive o ring was not there? Could be the first plumber removed it? Anways kids are now back in their own bathroom and I have my shower back. Wish I'd ordered it months ago.

Bought to replace existing shower cartridge which had been leaking from shower head for the last year. Original cartridge had lasted over 12 years so can't grumble. New cartridge was fitted by myself (not a plumber) in under an hour using the easy to follow instructions and we now have a non leaky shower. Order and delivery from plumbworld was easy, fast and the price was second to non.

The part arrived well packaged the next day. Instructions included were very clear. I had been told by a representative of Aqualisa that due to the age of the shower that it would be unlikely that the part would be available! Plumbworld came to the rescue. I am not a tradesman but managed to fit this easily myself. I would definitely use this company again. Thank you.

Needed this in a hurry to replace a faulty unit in our neighbour's shower room. Very quick delivery. Unit came with a full set of instructions that I, as a non-professional could follow. Fitted very quickly and works like a dream.
Result: Happy neighbour.

I needed this part to replace a very old corroded part. This came quickly and was the cheapest I found.
It fit perfectly with the seals provided and solved the leak I had. Beware the rear hot water seal. Its a challenge to change!
