Triton AS2000XT Power Shower - Thermostatic

This shower is a direct replacement.

Yes this has an internal pump

However this does not heat the water it needs connected toyour tank fed hot and cold water supply

Is this 9.5kw?

No

This is a power shower and uses the hot water that isstored in the hot water tank.

Electric: These showers heat their own waterand are usually connected directly to the mains water and electricity supply.They can range from 7.5kw - 10.8kw.

Mixer: These showers blend hot and coldwater. There are two main types of mixer showers, manual valves and thermostaticallycontrolled mixing valves.

Power: These showers have a blending valve,(manual or thermostatic) and a small pump housed in the same case.

The AS2000XT is a power shower and uses stored hot water.

The three main types of shower are listed below.

You may have a faulty thermostatic valve, however the firstthing to do is strip the filters out and make sure that they are clean andclear.

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

First by holding the pipe that goes to the shower can you makesure they there is hot water going to then shower.

The other possibility is you may have an air lick in the hotsupply, try the following to clear it.

Remove the shower head and lay the hose in the bottom of the shower tray or bath then turn the showeron to fully hot and allow to run for 5mins this may draw any air in the systemthrough.

Definitely from the tank in theroof and definitely not from the Mains or a combi boiler.

If it is this AS 2000T you have

UnfortunatelySupajet was the last manufacture to supply low voltage showers

The 1000xt has been rebadged as the Hydropower and this wouldbe a direct change over for your existing unit

http://www.showerdoc.com/showers/bristan/power-showers/BRIST-HY-POWSHX10-W-Bristan-Hydropower-1000xt-Thermostatic-Power-Shower-HY-POWSHX10-W

As virtually all the power showers use the same motor (Butwith different pumps) they all make a similar amount of noise.

The NT 1000 has been rebadged and is now the Hydropower.

This should be a straight forward change over.

The AS2000xt is a good unit at a good price but you wouldhave to alter the pipework

Yes this is a good replacement

The body is slightly different however the pipes and wiringis almost the same

Unfortunately there are no low voltage power showers on the market at the moment.

Unfortunately there is nothing that is a direct replacement for the SupaJet

The Triton is as good as any because you will have to alter pipes no matter what you fit and the triton Thermostatic is on offer at the moment.

To be honest I don’t know!

You would have to take that up with Triton

However I presume it is because they have no service back up in RoI

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Nothing serious.... However

The AS2000 is 240 v mains and will need to be earthed

The Supajei is 12v/24v and will only have two wires going to it

The centres of the supply pipe work is different  so the pipes will require a little alteration, however there is nothing on the market that is a direct change opver for the Supajet

Yes it has a 1 year guarantee

If you put the item in the basket when you go to checkout and add your address the system works out the postage (this is all before you commit to buy)

The Triton will involve altering the pipe work etc

You can still get the SF1500xt which is now branded as a Bristan and this would be a direct replacement.

Here are the fitting instructions and dimensions

This is a pumped shower and doesn’t heat the water so the only draw on the power is the motor about 3 or 4 hundred watts, if you need to be more accurate regarding the draw on the power let me know and I will check.

Nothe water supply pressure would be too high and it is against the waterregulations to connect a pump to the water mains.

Screw top and bottom of front cover also screw behind the temp control knob …You need to flick the little cover off at the front of the lever  

It is very early for a solenoid to become faulty, have you always had problems or has it just become faulty?

In terms of height is it installed below the base of the cold water storage cistern (75mm Min.) Have you checked the inlet filters to make sure that they are clear.

You are probably easiest with this

 However the Triton is a good choice of shower.

If there is hot water getting to the unit then I am more inclined to think that the filters may be blocked, there is just the possibility that it could be the thermostatic valve that is faulty, but these are normally pretty reliable.

If the motor is running then it almost certainly isn’t it.

 Yes a small cable will be OK for this, if it was correctly installed before then it will be OK now.

Is this unit Quiet? I don’t know what you had before so i don’t know what you are comparing it with.

However all of these units make some noise, most of the pumped showers use the same motor bur with different configurations and pumps, therefore the noise is similar from them all.

Unfortunately you will have to alter the pipe work however the Triton is a good option

The pipe centres are a little different so it would require some alteration

I am afraid it is not a straight swap.

The Aqualisa http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/aqualisa/AQUAL-PARENT-25-Aqualisa-Aquastream---Thermostatic-(post-2003)

The triton’s pipes are much closer together.

The temp control could be sticking internally if it hasn’t been used much, so turn on the shower ant wind the temp control from fully hot to fully cold 20 or 30 tomes this may free it off if that doesn’t work then check that the filters are clear.

I would be tempted top go for the current Event.

Although the foot print is slightly different the connections are in the same position

The AS 2000 is probably the easiest replacement.

Different footprint, similar connections  but not identical

It is run of the cold water storage tank in the attic via the immersion tank for the hot water.

It is rated at 150watts

Hi Sandra

I am almost certain that this is a direct change over however I would like to see a photo of the inside of your shower just to be sure.

Or this is the internal view of the current 2000XT if you can recognize it as the same as your existing shower.

George

The pipe work is the same however the foot print is a little different it should be a relatively easy change over
