Hiya - my first post so please be gentle
Moved to a new house about a month ago.
I have a triton t60i 8kw shower (about 2 years old) that is refusing to heat water as well as it used to. The RCD tripped the other day leaving me with a cold water shower. Water pressure has stayed constant.
I reset the RCD and the shower runs but I have to turn it up to '10' to get any warmth. Before 5 was OK. at '10' the outlet pressure drops a bit.
So -
Should I repair? - guseeing maybe heating element or thermal sensors
Or as Triton customer service suggest -
Throw it away and buy a new shower unit?
I'd like to fit a more powerful shower if possible, 9.5 kw? Will I see any difference. Pretty sure I have 10mm cable - it looks beefy and the cu is only 2 years old.
I have a 32A MCB in the CU but could change this for a 40A for about £6
(not sure that the 32A MCB is actually OK for the existing 8kw shower )
The water inlet comes from wall into rear of shower unit via an elbow joint
The electric cable comes in to rear of shower unit.
Both feed in from the right hand side of the unit.
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers
