Triton T70i

A: 

We are having a problem at the moment with our ticketing systemit is running words together, we have people working on it!!

 

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

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 afaulty flow valve.

Carry out this check after you check the inlet valves.

Also have a look at the outlet TCO

The outlet Thermal Cut Out this is a black disk with two wires going toit and it is mounted on the out let pipe (The bit between the heating tank andthe hose)
Examine the connections closely if you see any discoloration / signs ofoverheating then the TCO needs replaced.

 

 

 

A: As there are no parts now available for this shower a new unit is required. Our recommended replacement is the Triton T80z and the appropriate wattage model can be ordered online via the link below.

A: 

 

I think the pressure relief device has blown.

 

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

 

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

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

A: All parts for the T70i are now obsolete so a new shower is required. Our recommended replacement is the Triton T80z which whilst not a dierect replacenent will be fairly straightforward to fit.
The appropriate wattage model can be ordered online via the link below.

A: Check with your water supplier if there has been a reduction in supply pressure or flow.
Check that mains stopcock and any isolation valve in the supply to the shower are fully open.
Check the gauze filter in the inlet to the solenoid valve is clear.
If all above are ok then the fault is in the shower and as all parts for the T70i are now obsolete a new shower is required.
Our recommended replacement is the Triton T80Z 8.5kw which while not a direct swap will be fairly easy to fit, it can be ordered online by clicking on the link below.

A: 

When you say cutting off I presume you mean that the water is going off?

 

Id that is the case then see below.

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 you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them  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 and letting you know much power you have left in batteries

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

A: 

Probably leaking from the stabiliser valve which is now obsolete .....Time for a 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.
