Does anyone know how to remove the handle from my shower? There is no hex head set screw whatsoever......only possible way I can determine is to pry off the ss round cover plate, however, I don't want to damage it if that's not the case. I have no hot water , and need to repair/replace the cartridge.
Also, is the freshwater pickup tube going to be located within the area of the hoses next to my manual gauge? I lose prime at 3/4 full water tank, and suspect deteriorated pickup tube!
thanks for any help you can provide.

If I was going to guess I'd say pry off the cap on the top and you'll probably find a screw under there. But it's only a guess.

Mos def'. Skinny blade to pry off the cap. Make sure water pressure is down before experimenting.

Not sure what you mean by "lose prime" but typically a deteriorated pick up tube will cause extreme wet farts at faucet and shower head. There is usually just one pick up tube per water tank and is right around the access hatch. Try suck and blow at the hose/tube ends to see what the critical path is.

If the cap does not pry off, look very carefully at the back of the base of the handle for a little slot that you have to stick a tiny flat blade screw driver into and push to release a spring loaded nub to release the handle. If it is that typ the slot is very hard to see, use a bright flashlight. John
