This question is regarding Triton T80i - Shower Spares

Intermittant water flow

Water on high power runs for about 2 minutes then stops. If left for a while it will again run for a couple of minutes then stop.

Electrics have all been checked by qualified electrician and no fault found.

Water pressure has been checked and no fault found.

It has been suggested that there is a hole in a diaphragm that allows water to seep through building up pressure which causes the diaphram to close cutting off the water flow.

Is it possible to replace the "diaphragm" unit - and, if so, what is the part number and the procedure to do so?

It is most likely to be your solenoid valve, you can checkit 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 inthe failed state.) (When it has stopped working!)

 

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is notoperating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them  with a guide on how to use them for checkingand testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are reallyuseful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fusesand letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of otherjobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds
