This question is regarding Triton Opal II - Shower Spares

Shower suddenly runs cold

Just recently my shower suddenly runs cold. It can operate normally for a few mins then without warning, it suddenly goes freezing cold. If I then switch it off and straight back on it will operate normally again. The only difference that I am aware of is that drop in outside temperature meaning that I have the shower temp control turned a little higher than normal.



It is the Triton Opal 2 that I have.



Cheers!

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 open / close the safety device that allowspower through to the elements


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 toit and it is mounted on the out let pipe (The bit between the heating tank andthe hose)
Examine the connections closely if you see any discoloration / signs ofoverheating then the TCO needs replaced.
