Triton electric shower runs cold

THE ELECTRICITY IS STILL GOING TO THE SHOWER AS THE
LIGHT STILLS COME ON. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH LOW PRESSURE AS THE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. THE HEAT SETTING HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE
TOP HEAT SETTING BUT ONLY COLD WATER COMES OUT
OF THE SHOWER HEAD. THE MODEL IS A TRITON T80SI

    Triton TS80 .... Runs warm for about 5 mins, then switches to cold for a minute r two, then heats up again .... and it freaks me out !!!

    Seems to be something to do with the temp of the supply water as it happens in winter but rarely in the summer

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!

Water from my electric shower is coming from the shower housing rather than through the shower hose. Can this be fixed please?

Triton showers after runs hot then after a while goes cold

Is it possible that you don't have enough water pressure, electric shower heater elements will cut out if the water pressure gets too low, try increasing the water flow.

My triton shower won't turn off and has no hot water

Your supply pressure is too high for the unit, it is too much for the solenoid to shut off, you need to put a pressure limiting valve inline.

My triton martinique electric shower low pressure light comes on and the water goes cold but there is nothing wrong with the pressure

how on earth is this related to gaming consoles or PS3 ??
Please post under correct sections next time.

Anyways, it looks like a common problem for the Triton Shower, and it might cost you some $90 to fix it.

My triton martinique electric shower low pressure light comes on and the water goes cold but there is nothing wrong with the pressure

Hi,

I had a brand new Triton Rapide 3 with this issue, we had good water pressure but the light on the front would keep coming on.

I found there was a micro switch located at the front almost dead center of the shower, couldn't miss it when you removed the cover. A plastic arm below this switch is raised when the water pressure increases tripping this switch and allowing the heater to come on.

I found two things wrong with this, one this plastic leaver was thin and bent easily and secondly the switch did no line up overly well with the lever. Easily fixed, I cut an inch off the end of a zip tie or panduit strap, and super-glued it to the top of the lever (not the switch as the glue will probably ruin the micro switch.) 5 minute job later and with the shower back together it works beautifully. My wife will be happy, you wouldn't believe the torrid of curses I got this morning having only replaced the old unit last night.

Probably don't need to say this but, make sure you isolate the power before removing the cover.
