Have a bath mixer tap with the facility to press the button for the shower. Personally, I think that is is a clever but poor design, but what do I know?

Every couple of months, the shower either will not work or when the bath is turned on, both bath and shower supply water. The solution is to dismantle the shower button and generally, the culprit is the arrowed O ring which the 3 bar has dislodged.

After 15 years, perhaps I need a new O ring? Not a problem but ...............

When I have checked a couple of site, there are so many different types. Nitron, viton, EDPM, silicone, polymax, and more. My guess is that I need something pretty basic but what? Just plain vanilla rubber or EDPM?

Really grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks and toodle pip]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308877#Comment_308877 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308877#Comment_308877 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:35:01 +0100 tony https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308879#Comment_308879 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308879#Comment_308879 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 16:35:46 +0100 Peter_in_Hungary
I am quite sure that the original is vanilla rubber.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308882#Comment_308882 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308882#Comment_308882 Tue, 29 Jul 2025 17:52:24 +0100 fostertom https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308893#Comment_308893 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308893#Comment_308893 Wed, 30 Jul 2025 19:31:53 +0100 Rex
To be perfectly honest, don't really care as long as it solves the on-going issue.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308896#Comment_308896 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18325&Focus=308896#Comment_308896 Wed, 30 Jul 2025 20:44:09 +0100 djh
