Triton Rapide R2 temp problem

In response to your reply, there is adequate water pressure, and no apparent hinderance to the water flow, so no issue there. Could it be a faulty thermal cut-out?

If there is any heat at all then it is not a faulty TCO.

The only thing that causes a shower to overheat is not enough water passing through it to cool it.

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.

A ruff check is to remove the shower head turn temperature control to fully hot the water coming out of the hose should be a bit more than a dribble then turn to fully cold and it should be coming out at full flow.

If there is not much difference between the two then you could have a faulty flow valve.
