triton shower

[suedehead1]

hi my triton shower is heating up but not getting hot enough there seems to be plenty of water pressure but even when its at maximum temperature it isnt very hot.
its my own shower i dont fix them but if someone could point me in the right direction i would take a look.

Re: triton shower

They usually have centre tap elements so perhaps one half has burnt out. My own Triton shower is not very warm just now but that’s because the incoming cold water is not much over freezing.

Re: triton shower

thanks for he reply it only says opal on it are parts readily available for it,
i think you are right with the half heat it doesnt seem to matter wether i have it on full heat or half heat it is still the same temperature it looks like i will need to get the meter out and check it
thanks for the replies guys.

Re: triton shower

Have to turn the pressure right down at this time of year on my Triton shower to get any decent temperature.

By a strange coincidence I am going to exchange my daughters Triton Aspirante next week, the PCB and elements have gone on the one she has.

Not something I usually get involved with but I have changed my own before now.

Not looking forward to the job, its one with a remote control panel over the bath, the main unit is behind the bath decor panel and her boyfriend/partner has only just re tiled the bathroom floor. 😥

Damned expensive unit as well, nearly £300. 😯

The Triton web site is very good for technical and parts data, I have changed the inlet valve and the flow valve on mine using the info on there.

Re: triton shower

If its not one of the elements, Have a look at the button stat on the outlet pipe, If the wires are welded on should be OK, But if they are push on good chance that the terminals have over heated and if this stat fails it will cut out one of the elements.

Re: triton shower

both halfs of the heater check out ok there is a pcb with a couple of relays on it and the contacts look a wee bit burnt so i dont know know what to do.
i watched the 2 relays while testing it and only one energises so it needs a new pcb thanks for the help i will order one and give it a try.

Phidom Could be Write.
I had The Same Problem With Mine Recently High Pressure And Freezing Water. Its Been A Bad Winter To And That Elements Been Working Overtime .

I Upgraded From A 8kw To 9.5 kw Its Done The Trick It Is A Pleasure To A hot Shower With Loads of Water Don’t Forget To Up The Fuse t Switch To A Minimum Of 45Amp or 50.

If You Change It Will be Well Worth It I had A Good Deal With Triton Direct.

You know those jobs you wish you hadn’t agreed to do. 😥 I thought kitchen fitters were bad but this installation takes some beating. At a guess I would say that whoever installed this did it before the bath was put in. :rolls:
I will be dreaming about this job tonight, still not really sure how the hell I managed it. 😕 It took me just over two hours, and all for love. 8)

Can you believe some numpty left it like this. 😯
