Hi John
I came across your excellent articles while researching a shower problem via various sites, and I'm hoping that perhaps you can help.
My son has recently moved into a new (to him, IYSWIM) house. The house has been renovated by the previous owners and has a combi boiler. The problem is with the shower in the bathroom which is a "Victorian" style (i.e.brass & porcelain) and which although apparently "thermostatic" does not control the water temperature at all. The temperature varies randomly, but always too hot for comfort, no matter what the control setting is. I should mention that the control is a single lever for both flow and temperature.
The markings on the shower mixer valve indicate that it is a "Force 10 Thermostatic". I am unsure if this is the name of the manufacturer, or the model. I cannot find any references to this name on t'internet at all.
I have dismantled the valve, and tested the thermostat capsule in a bowl of hot water and it appears to operate OK.
Have you come across "Force 10" before? Any ideas what to do next?
TIA
Peter Kay
