mr two Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi to any plumbers/electricians out there... I have a Triton T100E shower..installed 1997...had problem with the wiring so it wasnt used for about 4 years..had the wiring fixed but now when switched on it autonatically makes a click noise and the low water pressure light comes on straight away..so only cold water comes through.The water pressure is ok though. I must say though,thinking about it, previous to the wiring problem, it used to do this intermittently before - when first switched on....but would clear if the high heat button was pressed again.. Any suggestions on what to look at please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjgreen3 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm an electrician, since you have had the wiring checked I would assume its plumbing related. I'm not an expert in this area but all electrically heated water outlets (hot water hand wash boiler,shower etc) have a low pressure switch which cuts in and turns electrical supply to the unit off. Since you have cold water coming out I'm assuming this part is either faulty or you do have a low pressure problem. It could be something more complicated though but your symptoms seem to point to this. It's an important safety feature as the unit is regulated on basic mains pressure, if you don't have enough water flowing through to cool the element you could in theory have a steam cleaner instead of a shower! Best get an expert in to have a look or for the cost it may be better to get a new shower fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwfix are doing 8.5kW showers for around 65 quid all in and 9.5kw for around 80 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
