Power Shower Leaking

[mike1939]

I have a power shower about 4 years old which is leaking from the shower head. It was supplied by Wickes who tell me that it is now obsolete and no spares are available so looks like I will have to replace it. I am told that the SupaJet 100 is a suitable replacement. Important that I can match the hot & cold pipe connections to the shower to avoid retiling, etc.

Any help will be appreciated.

what shower have you got now ? i take it it's a superjet what model ?

It's badged as a Wickes power shower product code 410031. I believed it was in fact a Triton Aquatronic. Wickes service helpline say it was supplied to them by Watermill Products as a model S60.

thats not an aquatronic they are electric showers
thats a Watermill Osprey II 4500 Manual

the manual valve is still available at about £48

and no the supajet 100 pipes come in from the top not the side.

Thanks for that info. Showerdoc.com told me it was a Superjet. They are advertising spares for the Osprey. I assume the manual valve is the cause of the drip.

At last - I think I have resolved the problem.

Info for anyone in a similar situation.

Power shower supplied by Wickes 4 years ago identified as a Watermill Osprey ll 4500 manual. Now obsolete but Showerdoc.com purchased all remaining spare parts about a year ago.

I was able to purchase from them a new mixer and new control knobs for temperature and flow control which had cracked. Total cost about £65.00

Thanks to Seco for assisting with the identification.


Hope this now cures the leak!
