Triton Trance

I think the pressure relief device has blown.

It’s a safety device on the bottom of theheating tank.

It is fairly easy to replace however there isusually something that causes it to blow,

often a kink in the hose or the showerhead isblocked, so check this before fitting the new PRD.

The shower should have been on the mains before the combiwas fitted so I don’t think that is the problem.

It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you havea multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the twoterminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failedstate.) (When it has stopped working!)

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is notoperating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The videois intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them  with a guide on how to use them for checkingand testing the various parts of your shower.

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are reallyuseful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fusesand letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of otherjobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds

Yes but this should be regarded as a very short term measure as it will cause other internal components to wear out prematurely

It could be one of two things it may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you have a multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the two terminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failed state.) (When it is not working!)

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

If it is not the solenoid then it may be that your pull cord switch is burnt out.

 The replacement is fairly straight forward.

Turn of the water and power you then have to dismantle most of the inside of the shower to get enough space to slip the old part out and the new part in.

This sounds more difficult than it actually is, however you do have to be methodical noting where screws/nuts etc. come from and what goes where and it is always a good idea to take photos as you go because you can refer to them when you are rebuilding.

This is very early for a tank to become faulty so...........

Just as a bit of an afterthought make sure that none of the micro switches are sticking in the on position which is keeping one of the elements energised all the time which would cause it to become faulty.

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to the elements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower.

The first things to check are:

1 That the main valve coming into your house is fully open.

2 Then check that the valve on the line to the shower is fully open.

If these valves are not fully open then there may not be enough water

getting to your shower to open the pressure switch therefore no power will get to the elements and the unit will show low pressure.

The PRD is located in the bottom of the heating can behind the outlet pipe and is held in place by the outlet pipe. It is comparatively easily replaced, by removing the 2 screws holding the pipe inplace pulling the pipe forward and down will reveal the PRD. Fitting is obvious but lubricate seals and ease parts into place, do not force.
The PRD can be ordered online by clicking on the link below.
