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.

🚿 Common Components and Spare Parts for Marine Showers

1. Dispenser (shower head) Terminal part from which the water comes out -> Available with button or lever
2. Flexible hose Connects the shower head to the mixer or tank -> Usually 1.5–2 meters, made of reinforced PVC
3. Built-in unit Base with removable housing -> Some models have snap-on lid
4. Single-lever mixer tap. Hot/cold water regulation -> Installed on the dashboard or near the shower
5. Non-return valve Prevents water from flowing back into the tank -> Sometimes integrated into the shower body
6. Gaskets and O-rings Prevent leaks on fittings -> Replace periodically
7. Shower button or switch Starts the flow -> Some models have an integrated switch

🧰 Recommended materials

• ABS plastic : lightweight and corrosion resistant.
• Nautical Chrome Plating : For a more elegant look and added strength.
• AISI 316 stainless steel (in some high-end shower heads).

🛠️ Common problems and related spare parts

• Water leaking from the base -> Replace O-ring or hose
• Weak or irregular jet -> Clean or replace the shower head (clogged nozzles)
• The hose does not retract properly -> Check for kinks or hose is too short
• The button does not close properly -> Replace the shower head or non-return valve

✅ Tips

1. Check pipe diameter and fittings (usually ½ inch BSP or M15).
2. When changing just the tube or head, check the thread compatibility .
3. For outdoor use, choose shower heads with an automatic return button (water saving).
4. Clean limescale regularly, especially in hard freshwater.
