my triton is working fine on cold, warm and high power setting but as i turn the power dial to full power it trip the whole house power.? otherwise water pressure is fine and water getting hot enough (at this moment my power dial is on high and water is hot enough but in winter i need it to be at full power ) any suggestion will help thank you!

Hi cagmito, I got brand new triton t80 just fitted week ago and working fine . Yesterday when I’m going shower for 10mins and heard a click then no hot , turn it off for few sec and on again then hot water coming back . Hope you can answer my question .. thanks

[@Mark-wl7fp]

Hi great video. I have just fitted a triton T80si where it will not switch off and water is leaking constatnly. I have replaced teh diaphram and solenoid valve but its the same scenario. I have just tested the on/off switch with a multimeter and that checks out ok. Im a bit stuck now.

[@jumpferjoy1st]

Thanks for this. The Pressure Release Device has gone on our Triton, so now I can get it replaced easy. Thanks again. If it goes again quickly then obviously there are other issues, but your video has helped massively. Cheers.

[@cagmito76]

No worries and thanks for comment, appreciate it!

[@BlackKnight_217]

Can you please confirm when the PRD was blown out, there was no hot water and then when you replaced the PRD you got hot water again ?? My PRD seems to have blown out, I ordered replacement discs that should arrive in a couple of days, but also I have no hot water right now,,, will replacing the PRD disc also resolve the hot water issue ??

Hi, we've replaced our Gainsborough e50 shower with a new Gainsborough e50 unit as the old one started going hot and cold and then didn't heat up at all. The new shower unit is fitted, power comes on to it and it isn't tripping the RCD. Water pressure seems fine but the new unit isn't heating up either? Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Ps don't know if it matters but our combi boiler went faulty around the same time s the shower stopped working properly and have been told that it needs a new divertor valve (cycling on and off every few seconds) and radiators heat up when selected to tap water only mode. Many thanks in advance

[@fredmercury1314]

Mine is an Aquatronic Ultra 4 and it's scolding hot. It switches on a "low pressure" warning light, then switches the heater off. It's fine on setting I, apart from it being "cold", but on setting II it's a liability. This morning I had the dial right the way over to maximum cold, and on setting II, and it tried to burn me alive. Is that the flow valve? I live in a high limescale area... I'm thinking something is clogged. Thanks!

[@campbellg5391]

Recommend putting full bore isolation valves as well

[@sickbeatsproductions]

we have had 4 triton showers and all last around six months then they wont run hot at all, just freezing cold water??? what could be causing all to blow so quickly? and how do i check??

[@KatrinaMcevoy]

Omg I thought I was only one!! We've gone through 3 in the past year!!! Did you ever find out why? I am starting to think I've got a problem with the electrics that keep shorting the heating element

[@sickbeatsproductions]

@@KatrinaMcevoy turned out that we had used longer hose and different shower heads, triton showers only use short hose and a crappy head, made for low pressure! so if you use anything else the shower cant cope with the pressure needed

[@CrumbleLives]

Mine doesn’t heat at ii setting. Like it’s stuck on I setting. Replaced TCO, no luck. Replaced micro switch no luck. Now thinking it’s the heater and a coil damaged. When issue first occurred was a loud sound and tripped mains. Any ideas?

hi my shower is very lower pressure on the heat temperature setting. It comes on for 2 seconds at high temperature then cuts out and the pressure goes very low to a trickle of water. What could be he issue? thx

[@cagmito76]

Do some tests check heating elements maybe one has gone , is the water pressure good , any blckages is the water flowing through the shower and pipe and shower head ok ?

Hi, mums shower is a Mira advance ATL Thermostatic and has No power when turned on at ceiling... checked fuse inside shower and switch in ceiling has electric flow, just not power to unit? There was water sitting in the top heater element tube around heater switch. Me mums desperate and just unsure with not wanting her to get ripped off x

[@cagmito76]

I would not be doing live main voltage testing if you are unsure , best to get technician out . Where are you located. Switch off electric at consumer unit use you meter in continuity mode to test switch and incoming mains connection in shower dead testing is much safer . If you do not have continuity through switch you need new switch. Hope fully thats your issue these are quite expensive showers to buy and repair.

[@Shandybrother]

Any idea what’s the difference between the gravity and mains pressure versions of the T80 can the gravity version be modified to the mains pressure version, thanks

Usually there is a pump is inside them.

you need to test to see if you have power to the switch and at the shower , its more than likely a faulty isolator switch though

Best video How can I fix the pressure of my electric shower

[@johng7787]

My TCO keeps failing. 3 in 3 weeks!! There doesn’t appear to be any scaling and when I changed the inlet filter again no sign of scaling. Pressure and flow seem ok. I take a shower with no fluctuations in pressure and temperature then the next time just cold water. Heating tank at 11.3 and 11.2 ohms. TCO at 0 when fitting and when failed at 1. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

[@cagmito76]

It sounds like you checked most things , if your getting good flow through shower , head is not blocked and hose is no collapsed internally. Id suspect the elements either faulty or limescale. It is usually limescale build up.

[@johng7787]

@@cagmito76 Thankyou for your reply and advice. Is it possible to clean the limescale from the tank or would it need a new unit (Cheapest I’ve seen is £129) If I can clean it how do I go about getting rid of the limes ale build up on the elements please and what would I use to do this. If it is possible it’s probably worth a try would you say? I can’t just keep replacing the TCO at £23 a go tbh but I do have another one. I do keep seeing different numbers on the top of the TCO but the shower sales say they’re ok for my shower. One said 52 - 75 and another 48 - 75 Once again .. thanks John

Thank you, it’s the solenoid on mine kept cutting the water in and out, tested it and it’s at 4.5 ohms. Is that good or bad?

it should be 3.7 to 4.5 K ohms, but they can expand the copper wires inside when hot and cut out.

[@bangin_beats]

No heat. Checked the TOC and it didn't have resistance, checked the heating elements and both had resistance of approx 12ohms, but when i checked the solenoid on the inlet the multimeter read 1250. I'm no expert, i decided that as we had a shower head that had an on off switch, and had been accidently shut off, this has likely effected multiple components in the shower so we decided to get identical shower replacement for £69,
