Hudson Reed Thermostatic Cartridge for SNINASF CEL-001A-WAX Ultra, Hudson Reed, Vado, Crosswater

The symptom of a faulty thermostatic cartridge on this shower is when the shower temperature got stuck in lukewarm adn doesnt change regardless whether you turn the temperature dial to the left or to the right.

You need to isolate hot and cold water to the shower. You will also need a circlip remover tool as there will be 2 circlips on your way.

Be careful because one of the oldest shower models temperature control knob doesn't fit on a new cartridge.

Hudson Reed Ultra Hudson Reed SA30049 faulty Thermostatic Cartridge

This is a quick article for people who have a problem with their Hudson Reed (or Ultra) Concealed Twin thermostatic shower mixer. 

As this is an older mixer, the thermostatic cartridge will deteriorate over time.  The inner workings of the cartridge will gather calcium carbonate, also known as limescale.  This calcified substance is hard therefore as the innerworkings of the cartridge move, given enough time, even brass will start to corrode and wear down.  For this particular Ultra Concealed Twin Thermostatic Shower Mixer you'll need a Hudson Reed SA30049 Thermostatic Cartridge.

When the thermostatic cartridge is faulty you will generally experience a drop in shower performance through either:

1.  Poor water flow.

2.  Unable to get the correct water temperature, i.e. You set the temperature to 38C however it is clearly not 38C.

3.  You will experience fluctuations in water temperature.  Please do ensure that you are getting a constant feed of hot and cold water to your shower as this could also be the problem.

4.  The thermostatic temperature handle is stiff or even completely seized up.

Solution: Replace with an SA30049 cartridge.
