Plumber, can you advise please?

We've got a problem with a dripping tap - but it's the shower tap, and isn't normal. They are "aquaflow" and 'flip' on and off with just a 90 degree turn. The knobs pull off leaving plastic splined shaft but I can't see how to get into the seals which I assume must be in there. Underneath they are just plastic boxes with pump start contacts.
Anyone had any success fixing this type of thing?

Looking at the pics it looks like you are not using the contacts to start the pump, therefore I assume you have a pressurised system??

If they are anything like my old Aquaflow taps, they seal by an O ring in a plastic disc. They don't like being permanently pressurised and slowly pass a little water. Dump the pressure and they work OK. I think you will struggle to service them, they are probably glued together.

Cut you losses and replace with 'real' taps.

We've got 'real' taps as well! I guess the solution for now is to run off the accumulator pressure before we leave the boat.
Thanks for the info anyway guys, I may get round to fiddling with them someday.
