Any shower experts?
 
My electric shower is playing up. The temperature control no longer works and the water is only coming out hot. At odd times it works properly but mainly just comes out too hot. A few weeks ago the temp was fluctuating for a few mins, then settled at the correct level. Any ideas? I don't get a low pressure light and it was installed a year ago.

Cheers

More expense, id rather find a cheap fix than buy a new one. Im already shelling out for new worktops, tiles, dishwasher, fridge freezer, cooker, etc. :thumbdown:

Nope, it's about 2-3 years old, but sat in the box in my parents garage until i bought my house last year and got it plumbed in.

No, but it's getting power so i doubt this is the problem.

what make and model is it ? do you live in a hard water area ?

Southwell 18-05-2009 06:16 PM

It's a Triton Opal something or other.

Yes it's a hard water town. The head is clean too.

Thats great news but what about the shower :lol:

My oven is slowly dying, the bottom oven is dead already, the top oven works but the alarm goes off randomly and makes a weird noise. Time for a new one me thinks, it's only 2 years old too :thumbdown:

I have a triton opal 9.5kw shower. I use it on the lowest temperature setting (the dial will only go as low as 4 on the high button setting) but water is scalding hot
To check if the inlet filter's blocked, turn the shower on and adjust to the coldest setting. Does the water flow greatly improve or remain rather weak? If the latter I suspect a blocked inlet filter.

Just a few quotes from the site read it all you may find your prob.
I had a triton years ago never again nothing but problems.

11 hours and no mention of the word "Golden" - poor boys, just poor :thumbdown:

Thought about it 10 hours ago, but then dismissed it as childish humour.

Faulty equipment is no joke.

Lee 18-05-2009 08:46 PM

I think its going to be something like that rich, one thing that pissed me off was the first time i went to clean the stainless front i sprayed on some stuff and rubbed and all the numbers came off :lol:

Rich D 18-05-2009 08:54 PM

My oven is NEFF and has been great for warming up pizzas etc for the past 8 years or so :woot:

Lee 18-05-2009 09:03 PM

It came with the house and looked smart at the time, so did the water feature in the garden but that doesn't work anymore either, and the £600 light in the living room goes off when the transformer gets hot :lol:

Never buy a showhome :lol::thumbdown:
