Triton Biarritz

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 devicewill turn
the power off until it cools Then it all starts again

 

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

 

You could give your local water authority a ring an ask themwhat your water pressure should be, they will probably say that the supply aminimum of 1bar (the minimum required to operate a shower)however pressthem and ask what it is likely to be first thing in the morning (when everybodyis showering)

 

They could have the pressure turned down because they areworking on the main, or because there is a burst pipe some where and they haveturned the pressure down to try to save water, or the pressure maybe low justbecause there is a burst pipe somewhere, that hasn’t been discovered yet!

A: 

It maybe a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kwshowers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading ofaround 12>18 ohms.

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

 

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

 

Apart from helping to fix yourshower, 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 ornot)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.

A: 

Yes it sounds like a faulty micro switch on a shower this old there is no point in fitting a Triton micro switch this will do the same job http://www.showerdoc.com/rs-2508590927-micro-switch-21-amp-(2-pin---universal)  and it is less than half the Triton price.

The thing to watch is the original switch can over heat and this can warp the case keeping the switch switched on all the time.

 

If the case is warped then I am afraid it is an new shower

Unfortunately there is nothing that is a direct swap.

 

However....... Triton has recently brought out the T80Z this shower has been designed round being a retrofit unit  (Tritons word not mine!)

 

The pipe work can be brought in from almost any position and there is a reasonable amount of space for cable entry from most positions.

A: Check that the hose has not collapsed internally.
Check that gauze filter in inlet to solenoid valve is clear.
Check water mains stopcock and any isolation valve in the feed to the shower are fully open.
Check with your supplier that there has not been a reduction in supply flow or pressure .
If all above are ok then it is likely to be the stabiliser valve at fault which is now obsolete and no longer available so a new shower is required.
Our recommended replacement is the Triton T80z which while not a direct replacement should be straightforward to fit. The appropriate wattage version can be ordered online via the link below.

A: There are retaininbg screws accessible from the top and bottom of the unit, remove them and the cover simply pulls off.

A: As I recollect one screw of the front cover at the rear and two at the top
