My power shower has stopped working. It's the third power shower that's stopped working in five years! I wonder if it's because the pump has burnt out due to low water pressure and weather we should fit an electric shower and water pump instead?

generally if the flow sensor notices no water through the pump it will auto matically shut the pump down. so it could be the flow sensor is bad or the pump is not working like it should. now it depends on how old the pump is. i would start with the flow sensor.

Hi davecross,

I'm Harvey, the Master Plumber.

Your question is:
water pressure not great would a external pump help. Depends on your situation. If you live in a house with a well pump then turn up the pressure. If you have city water and the pressure is lacking then either install a house pump after the meter or if it is just the shower you're worried about then a booster pump on the shower line is the ticket. Be aware that useing the booster may reduce the pressure at the other faucets in the house while it's being used. The house pump will not exhibit this. You will likely need a local pro to help you with installation. Feel free contact me again!

SOURCE: triton electric shower runs cold

hi it sounds as though the thermostat has gone on top of the can assembly, or moreover it has scaled up & the element needs replacing, if thats the case your better off buying a new unit as the cost of the can assembly & the fitting it will be nearly as much, plus witha new unit you'll be getting a 2 yr guarantee?
Just a thought!

SOURCE: No water coming out of shower

First you should check the screens st the ends of the hose to be sure they are not clogged. The shower head as well. Otherwise it could be the water control valve, solenoid or thermal cut off.

SOURCE: I have a Triton Rapide R2 electric shower problem

you can check the pipe lines there are normally more thane one way to set the pressure of the water one by the shower knobs 2 by the behind the head in the wall there are some water valves that may need to be opened up or by the water heater there are some valves there one coming off the heater one just on a pipe by the heater they may need to be opened. try that if that doesnt work come back and let us know and see what else you can do to fix it

My shower does not stop when turned off. It still runs fully for half an hour and then dribbles all the time

Tell us what type of shower. Power shower with a pump? Mains water power only? How old is it? Who fitted it? Does the control valve feel like its working properly?

I have redring expression 500, the power is on but no water coming through, no noise from the shower. could this be the solenoid valve

Replace the shower unit.There never worth repairing after five years use.You could end up paying £80 for a plumber and £60 for a part and something else goes in 6 months

Hi, I have a Triton Power shower, it has worked fine for the last few years but today the water stopped. The pump is still running but nothing is coming out. Would you have any ideas. Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary, Sometimes things like pieces of worn out faucett washers get in the shower head water line and clog things up. The only alternative is to disconnect the plumbing starting from the shower head back to the wall and start removing the pieces of rubber. There could be a problem with the impeller in the power shower pump but again you would have to gain access to the pump impeller and inspect it for damage. An impeller can fail in may ways... most of the time it is either broken blades of a broken hub of the impeller. Other times the housing for the impeller can be broken and water bypasses inside of the pump vs exiting the pump.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Triton Shower is not working at all after a years great service.

FIRST TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY THEN OPEN UP THE CASE AND INSPECT THE WATER PUMP FOR ANY BUILD UP OF SCALE IF SO CLEAN WITH A GOOD SCALE REMOVER, ALSO CHECK THE PUMP IS NOT FAULTY AS THIS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM , ALSO CHECK FOR ANY LOOSE WIRE CONECTIONS .

I dont know what the problem is so I need a bit of advice. I live in a 3 block council flat and have been here for 2 years. I have NEVER once been able to take a shower as everytime I lift the shower head...

wow , i've been a plumber for fifteen years never heard on like that before, but it should be pretty simple tell them to add a pump to the hot water systeme a taco 007 to be exact if you where in rhode island i could fix that for you. when you add a pump you must turn the mixing valve up hotter a little to build enuff pressure. hope it works out.
