Triton T80 turn off after 2 minutes - low pressure indicator?
I have a Triton T80 and after the shower runs for around 2 minutes it just turns off and the low pressure indicator shows, seems to heat up OK before turning off. After this it wont pass water through at all even when turned to just cold only (blue line at the power dial). If we leave the shower for around an hour it will come back on and do the same thing after 2 minutes, not sure what could be wrong here? Also during the summer it seemed to stutter going on and off itself flicking the low pressure indicator on and off but it would usually correct itself and run fine after this, not sure if that is related? I have attached a picture of the shower with the low pressure indicator showing. Please let me know what else to check or if you need further information.
Thanks,
Colin.
| It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you have a multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the two terminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failed state.) (When it has stopped working!) If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzJjzWqxesc The video is intended as a guide and does not cover every shower. If you don’t have a multimeter we sell them with a guide on how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower. Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses and letting you know much power you have left in batteries (So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds http://www.showerdoc.com/installation/electrical-products/SKYTRO-600-005-Digital-Multi-Tester |
