Ultra Finishing DC70T20 Valquest Dc70 Cartridge with T20 Spline Shower, Brown

Easy to fit, getting temperature setting correct a bit fiddly but not a problem.

My original valve went faulty after 5 years on Hudson Reed shower. I took it out and ordered the replacement. It came within a day thanks to Prime and fitted like a glove. The only thing I would say is that the outer seal was very tough to push into the casing because it’s new and needs brute force. As my shower was concealed it was impossible to use any force. I ended up using the seal from my last valve and it went ina but easy.

Purchased just over a year ago and it failed suddenly this morning - necessitating the purchase of a replacement.I am not sure what caused the failure - our water temperature setting is well below 43 degrees but it just shut-off completely and would not let a single drop of water to pass. We use the shower every day so this Valquest Dc70 thermostatic cartridge has survived at least 750 showers before failing.The slightly better news is that Amazon's price for the identical replacement is only £54.85 - a drop of 68% and significantly less than any other on-line supplier. I just hope the replacement lasts longer.

£79.99 fair price for this cartridge,Exactly what I needed, working perfectly so far, this part being available saved me a lot of money and hassle. Not sure how long it will last but I think that’s the nature of these products in hard water areas, happy I didn’t have to buy a new shower though. Only problem I had, (not with seller) was evri delivered to my neighbour, which is fine, but neither Amazon nor evri notified me, so I was waiting around for a delivery that had already happened.

Please, please, please do not but this product. I'm now on my fourth cartridge and they can fail at any time. They rarely last longer than 18 months. Will cut my losses & invest in a proper German made shower as opposed to British crap.

Brilliant replacement

Like for like replacement. Easy to install. Came with instructions that would be easy to follow. Hope it lasts.

I purchased this thermostat based on another review that said that it fitted the Bathstore Bensham shower (which I have).I have had the shower for 7 years and this is the second thermostat that I have replaced.The first I purchased from Bathstore and this time round I ordered it from there again, in total it cost me £95 (including £5 delivery).When it came The instructions were Valquest branded. I had a quick look on Amazon and saw it here, I took the thermostat back to Bathstore and purchased this one, not something i'd normally do but it cost over £50 more.Before I took it back I photographed it and the instructions to ensure that it was the same thing.When it came it was identical to the Bathstore one, including the instructions and the box it came in.Cant fault it, it works as intended and as far as I can tell is the same product that Bathstore ship for over £50 more.
