Shower Spare Parts

Spare parts for marine showers are essential for keeping your shower system (in the cockpit or ensuite) efficient and leak-free. They wear out easily due to salt, limescale, and frequent use.

Dispenser (shower head)	Terminal part from which the water comes out	Available with button or lever
Hose	Connect the shower head to the mixer or tank	Usually 1.5–2 meters, made of reinforced PVC
Built-in group	Base with removable housing	Some models have a snap-on lid
Single-lever mixer	Hot/cold water regulator	Installed on the dashboard or near the shower
Non-return valve	Prevents water backflow into the tank	Sometimes integrated into the shower body
Gaskets and O-rings	They prevent leaks on fittings	To be replaced periodically

🧰 Recommended materials

ABS plastic : lightweight and corrosion resistant.

🛠️ Common problems and related spare parts

Problem	Possible solution

For outdoor use, choose shower heads with an automatic return button (water saving).
