I have a MAAX Steamax. The generator is up above the shower close to the ceiling. How do I find and open the drain valve?

I can't tell about your water supply from this posting. Is it possible you have iron or sulfur in your water that only shows up in the hot water? If so, you may not have drained the water heater often enough to prevent problems. Usually, draining it about every 6 months will do it. To drain the water heater, turn off the energy source (electricity or gas), turn off the inlet valve, and connect a water hose to the drain at the bottom of the tank. Open the drain ****. Some don't have handles and require a flat blade screwdriver to open them. Run the drain hose down the driveway so the hot water from the tank doesn't kill your lawn. By the time it reaches the street, it should be cooled off enough not to hurt anything. If it's been a while, you may want to weight down a trash bag at the end of the hose so the water and sediment coming out don't stain your concrete driveway. Let the water from the end of the hose dissipate over the trash bag. It takes about 30 minutes to drain a 40 gallon water heater. It goes faster to carefully open the overflow pop off valve to let air in while it's draining. When it's drained, close off the drain spigot, open the incoming water and when it is quiet again (full), turn the energy back on. You may have to relight the pilot or click the igniter until it flashes one time to let you know it's working. You should have hot water again in about 30 minutes. If the smell in the drain persists, some baking soda and vinegar flush will normally take care of that.

I looked at the installation instructions for mediteranean III at this Maax site. It says silicone sealant is to be used. Unsure where you noticed mentioned of siliconized latex.

a tiny zinc or nylon button on bottom swing will work

Depends upon the brands of the shower fixture

Check really close to make sure there is not a small crack in the base. Many times they can barely be seen and when you stand in the shower they open up larger allowing water to leak out. You may have to have someone else stand inside while you look for the crack.

To get replacement parts for Maax steam shower, you can prefer showerenclosures.

Hi,

Likely your mixer valve cartridge has a blown o-ring.
Replace the cartridge.
Jets not working may be as simple as the GFI outlet being tripped.

Thanks
