Frequently Asked Questions: Thermostatic Cartridge for Merlyn Cube Shower Valves

Question: What are some shower mixer valve problems that require a replacement thermostatic cartridge for Merlyn Cube?
Answer: Shower mixer valves can function seamlessly for a long time. Its biggest opponent is limescale from high levels of water hardness. The limescale accumulates and solidifies which leads to the problems listed below.

– Inconsistent Water Temperature:
This happens because of the damage the limescale can do on the piston of the wax thermostatic capsule. Calcified limescale scratches against the piston adversely affecting its performance.

The capsule is found inside the Merlyn Cube shower thermostatic cartridge. It goes up and down to mix incoming hot and cold water to the preferred temperature of the shower user. If this part is damaged the shower valve can no longer adjust the temperature properly.

– Leaks:
Leaks are one of the most common problems a homeowner experiences in regards to shower mixer valves. One of the causes of a leaky shower is solidified minerals that block the passage of water from the feeds to the shower.

Soaking the cartridge in a vinegar mixture can be detrimental to the shower part as the acid can eat away the rubber seals and ruin the cartridge’s brass barrel.

When such problems occur, the best and long-term solution is replacing the thermostatic cartridge for Merlyn Cube shower mixer valves.
