    Easy to fit replacement ceramic valve cartridge
  

*by J***6 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 January 2017*

The lever on my Grohe Touch shower valve had been getting stiffer & stiffer recently, which is a bit disappointing, as it's less than 5 years old.  Rather than replace the entire valve, I decided to replace the cartridge, which costs about 1/3 as much as a new valve.  The most difficult part was removing the lever.  After taking out the rubber plug, the grub screw can be removed using a 3mm Allen key.  I pulled & pulled at the lever, but it wouldn't budge.  In the end, I sprayed some WD-40 into the screw hole, and let it work for an hour or two.  Then, I placed a wooden wedge between the top of the lever and the tap body, and by pulling on the lever, it eventually came off.  You need to be careful, as the plastic domed cover under the handle can easily be damaged.  After this, the domed cover can be carefully flipped out, exposing the front of the cartridge.  The cartridge is simply held in place by 2 Philips screws.  Having removed the old cartridge, it's a good idea to clean the flange area at the back of the tap to get rid of any limescale or other deposits.The new cartridge comes with a few extra bits, presumably for other models of tap- an extra plastic lever adaptor, a round plastic ring, and some extra-long screws.  The instructions explain what these are for.  It's very simple to fit the new cartridge, but it's important to make sure it's seated properly with the silicone gasket sealing against the waterways, or you'll get leaks.  The metal plate goes over the front, and the cartridge is secured by tightening the screws.  After fitting the domed plastic cover, the lever can be slipped onto the spindle & the grub screw tightened.  I smeared some silicone grease over the spindle & plastic adaptor, to hopefully make it easier to remove next time.  The valve now operates much more smoothly, and doesn't stick.I'm very pleased with my purchase, although a little disappointed that the original cartridge failed so quickly in the first place. Also, the delivery time from Amazon was a little slow at 5 days.  I've knocked a star off for those reasons.  Otherwise, I'm (hopefully) looking forward to at least another 5 years of trouble-free service from my valve.

*by M***O on Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 14 March 2018*

Ich habe diese 46 mm Grohe Kartusche vor einem Jahr in einen über 20 Jahre alten Euro Plus Mischer eingesetzt.Obwohl ich kein Fachmann bin, gelang die Montage reibungslos. Es waren alle nötigen Schrauben und Dichtungen dabei (ne bebilderte Montageanleitung auch) und die alte Armatur funktioniert wieder wie Neu.  Zeitgleich hatte ich eine neue Gohe Armatur gekauft, das bewegen, öffnen und schließen und so, fühlt sich vergleichbar an.Von daher alles Bestens! Wenn mein Text nützlich war, einen klick bitte :-)

    Very Poor, Does not really work
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 March 2020*

You would think this would be a like for like swap, old one out, new one in.We got a professional plumber to do it, one of the best we know.  His view was that it was rubbish, it did not fit well and the result was that the controls for the tap were loose and poorly fitting.Took the new one out and put the old one back in and the controls are back to normal.Poor!
