I just bought a house and have found that the fancy shower has a malfunctioning?/broken? thermostatic valve. We've removed it and tried to clean it to no avail. This is not your typical mixer to blend hot and cold, and these things are pretty specific to the shower that they are installed in unfortunately. The company who remodeled the bathroom says that the manufacturer is from Israel, and they pulled out of the U.S. market a few years ago. I have repeatedly tried contacting them using their email I found online, but they do not respond. I've found some valves online that are not quite right that cost $200-$300. So I know I'm looking at an expense, but I cannot find one that is 100% correct.
The shower panel is a Hamat DDS-Allison, model 5-8843-ST. The installer has no ideas of where to locate one of these and suggested I get onto a forum such as this to start inquiring.
I've inserted some pictures. It is held in place with a set screw on the bottom. Most of the ones I find online screw into place. For now I cannot find any identifying numbers on the thing. Next time I am able to get my husband to remove it I will go over it with a magnifying glass looking for something. Any help anyone can provide in locating one of these things would be most appreciated.
