Hi all,
A new joiner here. I've got an old (90s?) shower head installed in the appartment I bought a few years ago, and it became quite difficult to operate (ie it's quite heavy to push the lever). Not sure if anything can be done with the cartridge itself, so I thought that replacing it would be the easiest solution, but now the problem is - I do not have a replacement!

I could not find the exact cartridge on a number of 'spares' website - do you know if there are any compatible?
Attached some pics of it.


Any help/ideas are appreciated, I really hope to avoid replacing the piping as this means re-tiling the whole bathroom which itself is quite ok.. Maybe there's a way to lubricate/soften the lever??

Cheers,
Mark.

Even shower doctor has none of them! So it's a rip out :disappointed:
