Triton Opal - Water From Outlet Pipe

Hello, I have a Triton Opal 10.5kW which is about 7 years old. Whilst using the shower, the water stopped being discharged from the shower head and now only discharges from the short length of outlet pipe at the bottom of the unit. When this happened a small ball (about size of a small pea) was discharged from the outlet pipe.

Does this mean i need a new PRD? Or it something else? If it is a PRD, would would have caused this?

I recently put in a new solenoid valve if that makes a difference, although the unit worked fine after solenoid was swapped - until this latest problem.. thanks Allen

I think the pressure relief device has blown.

 

It’s a safety device on the bottom of the heating tank or outlet pipe

 

It is fairly easy to replace however there is usually something that causes it to blow,

often a kink in the hose or the showerhead is blocked, so check this before fitting the new PRD.
