Triton Martinique

A: 

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

 

I think the pressure relief device has blown.

 

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

 

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

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

A: 

Iam not sure I understand what you mean, do you mean that the shower hose doesn’tleak when you remove the head .....If this is the case then it is probably justthe hose that needs tightened or a new hose washer fitted.

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 allowspower through to the elements

 

 

 The first things to check are:

 

1  That the main valve coming into your house is fullyopen.

 

2  Then check that the valve on the line to the shower isfully open.

 

If these valves are not fully open then there may not be enoughwater

getting to your shower to open the pressure switch therefore nopower will get to the elements

and the unit will show lowpressure.

 

Forgetting about the temperature turn the shower from fully hotto fully cold at fully hot you should have not much more than a dribble comingfrom the hose and on fully cold you should have a good strong flow, if you donot have this difference then you may have a faulty flow/stabilizer  valve

 

Finally when you turn thewater on, the top of the flow valve should rise, there is a plastic actuator ontop of the valve this should press against a micro switch at the bottom of thePCB make sure they are properly aligned.

 

If all these are OK then youprobably have a fault with your PCB.

 

The checks don’t guarantee that you have a faulty power PCBhowever they do eliminate just about every thing that could cause the lowpressure fault and so the only thing left is the PCB.

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

See below for how to test the element.

 

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.

If it is a faulty element then you will need a new heating tank(Part 5 or 6) depending on the rating of the existing tank.

A: 

Youwill need to replace the solenoid valve

A: 

Sorry for the delay in replying

 

Sounds to me like you have the wrong type of holder or the wrong type of hose.

 

Have a look at these

A: 

The top of the stabilizer valve can be a place where these valve leak from.

The replacement is fairly straight forward.

Turn of the water and power you then have to dismantle most of the inside of the shower to get enough space to slip the old part out and the new part in.

 

This sounds more difficult than it actually 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 as you go because you can refer to them when you are rebuilding.

A: 

Yes this would be a direct swap  However I think that the Martinique is now unavailable.

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 the pressure switch therefore no power will get to the elements

and the unit will show low pressure.

The other possibility is 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)

The checks don’t guarantee that you have a faulty power PCB however they do eliminate just about every thing that could cause the low pressure fault and so the only thing left is the PCB.

A: The Triton Martinique has had several different holder over the years and most of them have been superseded by others. They used to come with the 83306190 or the 22010980 , This 83313470 is the replacement and is used for most 22mm diameter triton rails so this would fit and its quite robust.

In your case it may be that you have the pressure but if the valves are half closed they may be restricting the flow.

A: Check that the gauze inlet filter in the solenoid valve is clear. if this is ok then it is most likely the stabiliser valve at fault and replacement can be ordered online via this link.

Also check

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 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

It may be some other fault but we need to get these checks out of the way first

 

A: 

Sounds like you have the 10.5 version of the Martinique which requires a 45amp fuse depending on the age of your board you may just be able to change the fuse.

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: They are an integral part of the heating can and you can order the appropriate wattage via the link below.
As long as you note which screw and which cable goes where it is fairly straightforward.

A: This is likely to be a power printed circuit board fault, replacement can be ordered online by clicking on the link below.
