This question is regarding Triton Opal - Shower Spares

Low Pressure and too Hot

Hi there, A few weeks ago my Triton Opal 3 suddenly got very hot and blew the pressure release device. I replaced the prd and cleaned the shower head and hose of limescale. Although water is now coming out of the shower head rather than the outlet pipe, it is still too hot to bear and the pressure is very low (it's the same low pressure no matter what the temperature setting is). Is there something I can replace to save me from having to buy a whole new shower? FYI - I noticed the old pressure release device was clogged with limescale. Thanks very much.

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 cool it properly


Make sure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally


The other possibility is a faulty flow/stabilizer valve not allowing the correct amount of water into the shower
