Hi all
This might be one for Nick Seabridge or (Sealine buffs)
I have a small patch of wet carpet, outside the door of the shower in the aft cabin, we haven't used the shower (so its not the obvious).
I am at a complete loss to know where the water has come from, (about a large cupful, I guess) I tasted it and it seems fresh, not salty.
I spoke to a 410 owner on Saturday, he has a similar problem, so must be common to this design, does anybody know the cure ?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Roy
 
Most common problem is a small leak behind the shower panel (shower unions) (or tap cartridge), thats finds its way along the channels to the floor outside.

A Friend had the same problem(F43) it turned out to be the window seal in the shower,just a thought!!!
 
Cheers for the swift replies, The shower tray/floor is bone dry.
Nick, do I get to the unions from inside the shower or there a trick of the trade ?
Cheers

Sorry for the short reply,but yes his shower tray was bone dry too....but the leak was from the seal on the window(Porthole) the water was running down behind the panel and on to the carpet.Hope this helps in finding your leak, certainly worth checking it out,
