Electric shower dripping from pressure relief valve

[Gordsworth]

Hi

Couldn't find a shower subforum.so hopefully this is okay.

My electric shower is dripping all day and night. Taking the front cover off, it appears to be coming from the pressure relief valve. See pics.

Can anyone advise how I go about rectifying this?

Thanks in advance!

I am not too sure that the leak is from the prv ,but if it is ,you should replace it .

You've pointed to the lowest part of the unit. It could be leaking from anywhere and dripping down. Have you checked all over?
I had one once, checked everywhere, thought it was various seals gone etc. In the end it was a minute pinhole crack in the main body somewhere, spraying a fine mist. £50 odd to replace it and so ended up replacing the whole shower unit instead.

Okay so I used toilet tissue to test for moisture at every part of the shower interior, and found the breach. It's a tiny crack in this plastic nut (or whatever it is).

Is this DIY replaceable?

Cheers again.
