This question is regarding Triton Bezique II - Shower Spares

Shower runs cold

Please can you help. My shower often shows the low pressure light and will run cold on startup. Switching off and restarting usually solves this, but sometimes itl'll happen again 3-5 minutes into a shower, sometimes after running cold for 30secs or so the heat will return, but at other times you'll have to restart it. I live in a ground floor flat with very good pressure. This happens even when no water is being used elsewhere in the house

Any help gratefully received.

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 cool it properly the overheat safety device will turn the power offuntil it cools Then it all starts again

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

The other possibility is a faultyflow/stabilizer valve not allowing the correct amount of water into the shower.

A rough check is to remove the shower head turn temperature control to fully hot the water coming out of thehose should be a bit more than a dribble then turn to fully cold and it should be coming out at full flow.

Ifthere is not much difference between the two then you could have a faulty flow valve.

Carry out this check after you check the inlet valves.

Also as it is a Triton have a look at the outlet TCO

The outlet Thermal Cut Out this is a black disk with two wires going to it and it is mounted on the outlet pipe (The bit between the heating tank and the hose)


Examine the connections closely if you see any discoloration / signs of overheating then theTCO needs replaced.
