Water flow stops after a couple of minutes use

Hi I have a Triton Retail IPS, which looks like this shower. When the unit is turned on, the shower works ok, a couple of minutes later, the water flow stops. A few minutes later, the shower will operate again, but just for a few minutes. I suspect the pcb is at fault, would I be correct in thinking this and is the replacement for this shower suitable for the Retail IPS? I have removed the filters to confirm there is no restriction in the water supply.

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.

The video is intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

If you don’t have a multimeter we sell them 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 and letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds
