May 8, 20224 yr The shower worked fine this morning. After a day if painting, I went to use it. Pressed external button, water flowed, but did not heat up (combi boiler). Then the water stopped. Blue light is still flashing. Tried sucking in the pipe, nothing seems to be moving. VID_20220508_184223519.mp4
May 8, 20224 yr Author @joe90 Yes, all the rest works, even the similar shower in the next room. I have a distant memory that it has done this before. Almost as if something has got in the pipe and blocked it. Odd thing is, can't turn it off.
May 8, 20224 yr Should be a filter inside where the flexible pipe fits the “valve”, worth checking?. Edited May 8, 20224 yr by joe90

May 8, 20224 yr I think you have to find a way to turn the power to the unit off and back on to reset it.

May 8, 20224 yr Author @joe90 @Radian @ProDave I shall go looking for a switch, or something in the consumer unit. No idea if it limits the temperature, hardly used this shower. Not a house I have been in much, until recently.

May 8, 20224 yr Author Seems most advice for these Aqualisa us to turn it off and on again. Shall do they I the morning when my mother is asleep, and not watching murders in Midsomer (filmed locally). The blue light is doing a short, then medium and then two long flashes. Or a long then short, then medium then long again. Can't find anything on Google about flash codes.
May 9, 20224 yr Author Easy fix. Give a Tim almost 500 quid and he goes into the loft with a black box, comes out later with a dirty black box. Trying work out when in was fitted, probably 25+ years ago. So no real complaints.
