steve_b_wales Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have the above shower (Triton Bezique) which has been installed for at least 9 years. It's served us well, but during the last few weeks, I've noticed that (1) when the main power is sent to the shower, it 'start's for a few seconds, releasing cold water, and (2) when the shower is switched off on the control knob, you can hear the 'clunking' sound of the valve closing (as it's always done) but now it starts back up again releasing more cold water. This can happen once, or a few times. The only way to stop it is to isolate the power from the main switch. What is causing this, and is it repairable? Or, would it be better to just replace the shower itself? I don't mind, but all the pipes etc are behind wall tiles, and I don't think they can be purchased anymore.

Guest Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 It sounds like the solenoid is not closing properly.or it could be the switch . But after 9yrs you have not done bad .electric showers are not that dear any more it may be cheaper to get a new one than Mend the old ones.or you can just turn it off at the isolater when done with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny thomas Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just seen triton showers on offer I think it was in argos Good God I was actually in Argos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 You can get them repaired with a nominal call out fee, I think it was 50 quid and they replace one part. Worked for me. But as said above after years you deserve an upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Triton give info on their site showing which shower is a direct exchange, fitting wise for all their showers. ( last time I changed mine anyway) Edited December 31, 2016 by Good shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Trton give info on their site showing which shower is a direct exchange, fitting wise for all their showers. ( last time I changed mine anyway) Some "newer" showers are of greater power than the old ones thus requiring the wiring to be replaced as well. We came up against this when considering a replacement electric shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongwayup Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Steve, before you write the shower off have a word with the shower doctor in Edinburgh. Just supplied us with a solenoid cheaply for our Mira and a doddle to fit. Far cheaper than a call out or going direct to manufacturers https://www.showerdoc.com/search?ss=Triton+bezique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ring up triton . They'll sell direct to public. Mines about worn out after 3-4 years which is normal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
