Black carbon deposit inside Triton T90si shower
Our Triton T90 si pumped electric shower which is 7 yrs old started becoming noisy when on and pressure started to decrease while temperature keeps going from hot to cold. It finally stopped recently while being used. There is a lot of black carbon deposit inside cover when opened. Do I need to replace the pump / motor or just brushes? can a non-plumber do this?

Probably you can get away with brushes.
You need the brushes without the carrier

I am often asked “Is this a DIY job” to be honest I can’tanswer that, because without knowing someone, it isn’t possible to assess theirskills?
I should say that most jobs on showers although relativelyeasy (from my point of view) can be fiddly and an extra pair of hands, longthin fingers and the strength in your hands of an all in wrestler are a help!
The secret is, observing very carefully when thing are takento bits, their order and orientation, taking notes and/or photos as you go canalso be a help.
When you are working with electricity and water so make sure it is switched off and turned offbefore you start.
If you think you can do the job but aren’t just thatconfident, it may help to buy the part and compare it to the faulty part, youwill then be able to see where the screws, wires, nuts, or washers etc. go, ifthen you think it is to complicated, at least you will have the part when theplumber or electrician arrives.
We will always be here to offer help and advice if you runinto a problem, however it is not thesame as being on site where we can get the overhaul picture, if you are stillnot sure, now is the time to call in a professional.
