Shower problem

Thethings to check first are:

1That the main valve coming into your house is fully open.

2Then check that the valve on the line to the shower is fully open.

Ifthese valves are not fully open then there may not be enoughwater getting to your shower to cool it properly the overheatsafety device will turn the power off until it cools Then it allstarts again

Makesure that the shower head is clean and clear, that the hose isn’tkinked (this can happen just behind the hand set where it isdifficult to see) also check the inside of the hose although it canlook OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

Theother possibility is a faulty flow/stabilizer valve not allowing thecorrect amount of water into the shower.

Arough check is to remove the shower head turn temperature control tofully hot the water coming out of the hose should be a bit more thana dribble then turn to fully cold and it should be coming out at fullflow.

Ifthere is not much difference between the two then you could have afaulty flow valve.

Carryout this check after you check the inlet valves.

Also asit is a Triton have a look at the outlet TCO

Theoutlet 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 heatingtank and the hose)

Examinethe connections closely if you see any discoloration / signs ofoverheating then the TCO needs replaced.
