steve_b_wales Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I asked this question back last year, but can’t find the answers now. Our Triton shower has been playing up for months. When I go to switch it off, instead of it doing this, it starts up again. Does anyone know why this is happening and can parts be ought for it? I don’t mind buying a new one but don’t want to damage the tiles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, it's around 8 years old and has had good use. I would buy new but can't get this model anymore, and don't want to damage tiles etc fitting a different one if possible. I'll check Google later. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, when I asked about this problem last year, it was suggested that it could be the stabiliser valve. If all the internal parts work out less than a new shower, I may consider changing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galwymike Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Does the water keep running without the motor running or is the motor still running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't here any motor running, although I presume it is,as the water comes out of the spray head.I now have to switch it on/off by means of the isolator switch. As soon as power is fed to the unit, water comes out. If I press the 'off' button on the unit, nothing happens. In the past, this would work 6 out of 10 times.

galwymike Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 If the water stops when you turn the isolator switch off I would say the power is bypassing the shower switch (possible dirt in the contacts stopping the circuit from closing or just burnt out), if water still comes out with no power to shower the solenoid may be getting stuck (usually slows down over time and then stops after about five minutes} If in doubt either get a pro in or fit a new shower (a new shower with a larger footprint will hide the problem with the tiles) water and leccy dont mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Get triton in to mend .you end up with a nearly new shower and no messing about with tiles /wiring etc . by the time you have changed this and that it will cost more Edited January 29, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good shot? Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 If you have to change it for another model, ring Triton and they may offer a similar shower with the same footprint and entry points. They used to have a web page giving this information but I cannot see it know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Triton wouldn’t honour their warranty with us as we are in a hard water area and it destroys their showers. We buy the cheapest now expecting no more than 2 years from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 8 year old shower ? I'd be inclined to look at a replacement, you could fix this problem only to be faced with another in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi I changed a Triton T80i for an equivalent model - Triton Technical were helpful in advising which models have the same layout of in/out, electrics etc. making for a straight swap out. 8yrs on I would be minded to replace with new and start afresh with warranty as likely as not something else will fail. Mira also very good (my experience) - one off payment for some modules, came out 3 times as wasnt quite right. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll contact Triton Technical tomorrow and ask them about the shower unit I have. If they can suggest one that has the same layout, then I'll buy one.

They have been for 2 Triton that I have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
