TRITON OPAL II ELECTRIC SHOWER

Hi,



My shower has started having flashing lights on it and it goes from the blue circle to the 2 red circles constantly. This isn't the major problem that I'm having with it but it might be linked? The major problem is it takes about 10 minutes to even get slightly warm and sometimes it doesn't get warm at all you have to turn it on and off and turn the temperature right up to try and get it to work. It usually makes a noise when its about to get warm and this isn't cutting in as quickly as it used to. This is the 2nd 1 of these showers I've had in 4 years and I don't want to have to buy another 1. I live in a hard water area so have always put the problems I've had before down to limescale.

Can any1 help please??

This could be 2 or 3 things however I think you need to check the heating tank first

 

See below

 

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

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

 

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

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.
