Bit of a weird one, but just looking for advice. I have an aqualisa aquastream power shower and it's been pretty good (although is a bit like triggers broom). I've got a failed o-ring that seeming is only sold as part of the pump (for £150), the leak is between the pump and the valve.
It's an odd size o ring as it's got a square profile and I can't find an exact match. I've tried a metric 22 x 2.5 but it still leaks.
My question is will silicone sealant take up any excess or is that too much of a bodge, I'm reluctant to pay 150 quid for a 10p o ring. I can't find exact sizes of the o-ring online, I know I should take it apart again and just measure the parts, hit I'm at work now and wondered whether to carry on fixing the shower, or call it a day and replace with something else (which seems daft given what the failure is).
