Q: MyTriton rapid3+ shower stopped working after making a rumbling noise and tripped the RCD. It still runs cold water but trips each time you turn on the heat. I have tested the solenoid as described in prev post and think it is ok., So what else could it be?
Thanks

A: Itmay be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three inmost 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should havea reading of around 12>18 ohms. Ifyou 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.
Ifyou don’t have a multimeter we sell them at £10 each with a guide onhow to use them for checking and testing the various parts of yourshower.
Apartfrom helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checkingyou have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting youknow 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: Forgettingabout the temperature turn the shower from fully hot to fully cold atfully hot you should have not much more than a dribble coming from thehose and on fully cold you should have a good strong flow, if you do nothave this difference then you may have a faulty flow/stabilizer valve.

Q: When I press the stop button my shower will not turn off
The only way I can stop the water is close the stop cock
I have just cleaned the inlet pipe as it was blocked up
Could the increase in pressure blown something else

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzJjzWqxesc The video is intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

A: According to your description of the fault it sounds like a faulty solenoid valve (See below for how to check) there could be one or two other possibilities however we need to make sure that the solenoid is OK in the first instance.

A: Hi I think the pressure relief device has blown. It’s a safety device on the outlet pipe. 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. http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/triton/TRITO-82800450-Triton-Pressure-Relief-Device-82800450 The hot cold cycling may also be some of the problem 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

Q: My Triton Rapide 3+ shower has recently been relocated and now the water temperature fluctuates from very hot to very cold within a period of 2 minutes or so and it cannot be regulated properly. The shower is working fine apart from this complaint.
I look forward to receiving your advice as to which parts require replacement as previous advice and sales support with my Mira Sport shower has been invaluable over the last 8 or so years.
Ciao, John

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.
3 And in your case when it was relocated was it connected to the water mains?
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
Also as it is a Triton have a look at the outlet TCO
The outlet Thermal Cut Out this is a black disk with two wires going to it and it is mounted on the out let pipe (The bit between the heating tank and the hose) Examine the connections closely if you see any discoloration / signs of overheating then the TCO needs replaced.
