2 Thermostatic Valves including the Ondine use a high technology temperature sensing element to control temperature fluctuations. At the heart of this system is the thermal motor located at the bottom of the thermostatic cartridge. Over time, impurities in the water can accumulate on the thermostatic element causing an insulation effect and reducing the response time of the valve. The ShowerStore.com Thermostatic Valve Replacement Cartridge and Rebuild Kit contains everything you need to return your thermostatic valve to proper working order. These instructions will help you get the best performance from your valve rebuild.
