Hi all. I have an Aquastyle Aqualisa power shower. One of the connections on top of the water heater has touched the plastic shower casing causing it to melt with a 2cm hole. The connection looks a little rusty as the problem has been there for a few months. Any ideas on whats causing it? As there is a hole, im worried about water getting into the internals so is it repairable or do I buy a new one instead. Thanks.
JP - most customers of mine call an instantaneous electrically heated shower a 'power shower'. Anzfar - The cause of your problem in most cases like this is down to a loose connection, causing high resistance at the termination, causing heat, thus the melting. You need to buy a new shower. And fit it properly this time.
Drill a small drain hole in the bottom to allow any water entering via the big hole in the top to drain out.
Hi State. Must say I find it very hard to equate an electric shower (instantaneous electrically heated shower) with a power shower..the two are totally different M8.. Have a good one State.
This is most likely due to a loose (high resistance) termination.In which case the terminal block should be replaced, the cable trimmed back and reterminated with the hole in the enclosure simply being filled with silicon sealant. No need for a new unit. 'Make do and mend'. Lucia.
For goodness' sake JP! There's no need to scrap a shower unit for the sake of a simple terminal block. And there's nothing wrong with sealing a small hole in the enclosure using silicon sealant. Why don't you explain your cockeyed reasoning to the contrary? Lucia.
