Troubleshooting Shower Valve Problems with the Bathstore 90000014060 Metro Flow Cartridge

Bathstore 90000014060 is the replacement cartridge used in pre-2014 Metro shower valves. The nut of the cartridge has four sides. These are some of the common issues regarding the shower valve and how to know if it is time to replace the cartridge.

How can you stop your Bathstore Metro exposed thermostatic shower valve from leaking? How would you get your shower water flow rate back to normal? A Bathstore Metro flow cartridge 90000014060 replacement might be the answer to these questions.

The Bathstore 90000014060 is a half-turn (180°) flow cartridge with a blue bottom seal. Although usually, the blue colour is known as a cold cartridge, the 90000014060 Bathstore Metro flow cartridge does not regulate the water temperature. The colour stands for the cartridge’s open and close direction which is anti-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.

Scale and dirt collecting in the cartridge can give rise to leaks and poor water flow. Descaling the cartridge is but a temporary solution and the acid in descalants can harm the cartridge and its seals. The best long-term and more cost-effective solution is to replace the Bathstore 90000014060 so that you can enjoy problem-free showering experience (flow cartridge-related) for a long time.

Problem:
Weak rate of water flow.
Possible Course of Action:
– A good shower should run at least 15 liters of water per minute. A weak water flow rate goes below 10 liters per minute.

– The shower head might have limescale blocking water output.

– Limescale has calcified in the Bathstore 90000014060. A replacement flow cartridge is required.

Problem:

Possible Course of Action:
