This question is regarding Triton Opal - Shower Spares

Water only Hot on highest dial setting (10)

Hi,

I have a Triton Opal Mk1. A few months ago it had the problem of running ok for a few minutes then switching to low pressure & running cold, to remedy this i read on a forum to slip some cardboard between the actuator & the micro-switch on the bottom of the pcb. This fixed the problem.

However i was in the shower a few days ago when it tripped the fuse at the board and completely stopped running. i went to the board & fixed this & returned to the shower only to find that now it only has hot water when the dial is on 10 (unfortunately at the expense of the water pressure). anything lower than 8 is luke warm/cold.

Any idea's what the problem may be??

Cheers

Notsure about the cardboard under the actuator!

 

However.......

 

It maybe a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kwshowers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading ofaround 12>18 ohms.

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

 

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

 

Apart from helping to fix yourshower, 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 ornot)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.
