JADE ELECTRIC SHOWER LEAKING FROM OUTLET PIPE AND TRIPPED THE FUSE BOARD

MY SHOWER'S FAULT STARTED WITH CONTINUOUS WATER LEAK THROUGH THE OUTLET PIPE PLUS LIMESCALE COMING OUT AS WELL. THEN 2 DAYS LATER, ON SWITCHING SHOWER ON, IT TRIPPED THE WHOLE HOUSE ELECTRICS BUT DID NOT TRIP THE "ELECTRIC SHOWER TRIP SWITCH" !!

MY QUESTION IS BECAUSE I SUSPECT THE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE (NO.15 ON YR DIAGRAM), WHERE EXCACTLY DOES THAT ITEM SIT IN THE SHOWER UNIT ?????

It does sound like the pressure relief device has been activated, This part pushes in to the bottom of the heater and is secured in by the outlet pipe. The part number as long as you have just the Triton Jade is 83301330.

There could be another fault on fitting this part as the PRD usually activates due to oneof the following below.
A) Hose collapsed inside or was kinked when showering.
B) The shower head is blocked and needs cleaned or de-scaled.
C) There was a busrt of pressure to the shower EG water being switched off by water board for repairs.
D) One of the elements blowing in the shower heater can assembly, if this does happen then the fuse board will trip , blow the PRD and when a new PRD is fitted you will only get half heat come out of the shower.
