Fitting heater can assembly to Triton Jade II

How easy/difficult is it to fit a heater can assembly in the Jade II for someone of reasonable DIY ability?



Will I have to remove the whole unit from the wall or can I fit it in situ?



Can I fit a 9.5kw can in a 8.5kw shower?

Thank you.

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 the wateris turned off before 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. 

I some cases you can up-rate the heating tank however youneed to be sure that the wiring and fuses are all up to the job so unless youknow what you are doing then we would advise against fitting a heating tankthat is different to then original.
