Triton T90sr poor heating

Hi. My shower only heats moderately at the top setting (10).

Not sure if there is much difference between between economy and high heat setting.

Checked element (readings as per your youtube video)

Checked solenoid (readings as per your youtube video)

Checked Thermal cut off (readings as per your youtube video)

Switching between 1 and 10 on temperature control has a good effect on flow from high to very low

Flow valve appears to be ok but don't know what else it could be.

brushes?

When temp control is turned from low (1) to high (6+) the motor dips with the flow but does not increase again. I think this used to happen but do not know if this is a problem and what part it could be. Any ideas?

 From your description it sounds like a faulty element or power not getting to an element

See below

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.

If you 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.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each 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, letting you know 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.

I noted you carried out the various tests but didn’t mention the results. (What was the resistance on the elements?
