A: If when you switch off the shower at the mainisolator and the shower keeps running then you have afaulty solenoid.
When you switch off the shower at themain isolator and the waterstops running, then you have a faulty on/off switch or a faulty PCB or a micro switch that is stickingon. Answered 3 days ago | Barrie |

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 open/close the safety device that allows the power through to the elements. Answered 24 days ago | Barrie |

Q: I have a Triton Jade II which has worked well for about 5 years but has recently started to cut out immediately on setting 2 and the low pressure light comes on.

A: I am not sure what you mean by cut out? If you have no water then. 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzJjzWqxesc The videois intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

Q: Following on from my original question and the action taken, I have found that the inlet valves are fully open.
The shower head is clean and clear, the hose is also is also in good condition.
I tested the flow rate with the shower head removed to check the flow/stabiliser valve and with the temperature at it's highest the water is reduced to slightly more than a trickle and with the flow at it's coldest it comes through at full flow.
Do you have any other suggestions?

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.

A: Sounds like it is leaking from the top of the stabilizer assemblyand running down onto the solenoid. It should really just be a case of replacing the assembly. http://www.showerdoc.com/TRITO-P12120800-Triton-Stabiliser-Valve-And-Solenoid-Assembly-P12120800 The replacement isfairly straight forward.
Turn of the water and power you then have to dismantlemost of the inside of the shower to get enough space to slip the old part outand the new part in. This sounds more difficult than itactually 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 asyou go because you can refer to them when you are rebuilding.

A: If the shower 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. http://www.youtube.com/user/showerdoc#p/u/2/_zi8JbEMYMs If there is some heat 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.

Q: Customers rang me today with his shower not turning off fully. With the head laying in the bath and the shower switched off with the isolator there was a 3" flow of water. He has shut it off with the isolator and turns it back on to shower. Can you diagnose from this description and advise me on what part to purchase. I suspect it could be the solenoid valve but don't normally repair showers so would like to make sure. He also says that the low pressure light comes on occasionally, if that helps but sounds like another problem to me.

Q: My Triton Jade II has water leaking from the bottom of the shower unit. I know it is something that can probably be replaced or fixed, but the shower is at least 5 years old so i have figured its probably better just to get a new shower. However i want to do this as cheaply as possible. Ideally i would like to get the exact same model, but im told these are no longer made so i will have to get a different shower. I'm just wondering if a) you could advise where to buy the same model b) what model i could replace it with, with minimal amount of work (i.e plumbing and electrical re wiring etc)
