Triton Aquatronic 3 electric

A: Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally.
 
If you have done all the tests and cant find anything then the next thing to do is either start changing the parts, starting with the stabliser valve.

A: 

The things to check first 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 cool it properly the overheat safety device will turn
the power off until it cools Then it all starts again

Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

The other possibility is a faulty flow/stabilizer valve not allowingthe correct amount of water into the shower.

A ruff check is to remove the shower head turn temperature control tofully hot the water coming out of the hose should be a bit more than a dribblethen turn to fully cold and it should be coming out at full flow.

If there is not much difference between the two then you could have a faulty flow valve.

Carry out this check after you check the inlet valves.

A: 
This is the part that you need and how to test it.

A: 

If it is absolutely cold then I think you may have a faulty Thermal Cut Out

A faulty TCO will have no continuity across the two terminals (The black thing on top of the heating tank)

Therefore a good TCO will have power at both connections and a faulty TCO will have power at only one.

(The function of the TCO is, if the water over heats it cuts the power off to the elements)

See Video.

If you have some heat them 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.

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

(so you know if they are dud or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.

A: 

Not sure what you mean by seize up, however I presume youmean you have no water if that is the case then it may be your solenoid valve,you can check it if you have a multi meter, you should have a reading of atleast k3.5 ohms, across the two terminals any less and you need a new valve.(Check the valve in the failed state.) (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.

A: 

Sometimes the stabiliser valve assembly can leak, afterturning the power off and removing the cover you can press the centre and seeif water leaks out.

A: 

Sorry for the delay in replying

 

Yes I think you have a micro switch that is stuck in the on position this is keeping one of the elements energised even after you switch the shower off.

Until you trace which switch this is, switch the shower on and off using the pull cord or isolation switch, this should only be regarded as a temporary fix.

Continued use can cause the Thermal Cut Out inside the shower to fail and it may also cause the isolation switch to fail.

You may also have a faulty element, to check see below.

A: 

If it is not the PRD then it I can’t think of anything that would leak at that side of the shower

 

The only thing you can do is switch it off dry it out very carefully switch back on and see if you can trace where the leak is coming from.

A: 

If the shower is absolutely cold then I think you may have a faulty Thermal Cut Out

A: Select the ohms range on the meter then check between heater terminals between red or brown cable connectors and the black or blue neutral cable connectors , you should have a reading of between 9 and 18 ohms.

A: 

Unusual problem ....however

The things to check first 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.

Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

Just reread the ticket and noticed that you only replaced the coil and according to your reading the original coil was OK, could it be the solenoid its self that is faulty?

A: 

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 has stopped 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.

A: 
If you shower is only giving out cold water then it sounds like your shower has over heated and blown the TCO on top of the heating can assembly. The part you will need to rep[lace is item 2 in this link provided - http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/triton/TRITO-22010070-Triton-Thermal-Cut-Out-22010070

A: 

When you say it cuts out do you mean that the water stops flowing or it trips the circuit breaker?

A: 

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in 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.

It also may be the outlet thermal cut out which is mounted on the outlet pipe, check for continuity and signs of overheating.

Any parts required can be ordered online via the link below.

http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/triton/TRITO-PARENT-47-Triton-Aquatronic-3-electric

A: This is almost certainly a water flow problem.
Check that the hose is not kinked or obstructed internally and that the shower head is clear.
Check that mains stopcock and any valve in the shower supply are fully open.
Check inlet filter in the solenoid valve is not clogged.
If you have noticed any reduction in flow or pressure of supply at cold tap in kitchen then ask your supplier to check mains.
If all above are ok the it is probably te stabiliser valve which can be ordered online by clicking on the link below.

http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/triton/TRITO-82600550-Stabiliser-valve-assembly-(7-5-8-5-9-5kw)

A: 

The things to check first are.

1 Is your shower connected to the water mains and you have a minimum pressure of 1bar

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

3 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 cool it properly the overheat safety device will turn
the power off until it cools Then it all starts again

Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

A: Would recommend the Triton T80z whichis designed for ease of retrofitting to almost any electric shower. It can be ordered online by clicking on the link below but check what power you Aquatronic is before ordering.

http://www.showerdoc.com/installation/electrical-products/SKYTRO-600-005-Digital-Multi-Tester

A: 

If when you switch off the shower at the main isolator and the shower keeps running then you have a faulty solenoid.

 

When you switch off the shower at the main isolator and the water stops running, then you have a faulty on/off switch or a faulty PCB or a micro switch that is sticking on.
