This question is regarding Triton Ivory III - Shower Spares

Trips out at wall- sometimes!

Hi, My triton Ivory III has started to trip the circuit breaker on the consumer unit when the switch is turned on at the wall (we have a wall mounted fused switch, not a pull string).

Resetting the circuit breaker on the consumer unit seems to fix the problem and allow for a trouble free shower, but obv this is not practical.

Only once has the shower tripped the circuit breaker whilst in use- all other times have been whilst flicking the switch at the wall.

Shower has operated fine for last 18 months (since moving in) with no issues

Thanks

First check the wall switch, then,

it may be a faulty elementin the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can checkthem with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to theelements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements thenit's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have amultimeter we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them forchecking and testing the various parts of your shower.

Apart from helping to fixyour shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply toappliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left inbatteries

(so you know if they are dud ornot) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.
