Used the shower this morning (Triton T80 old model shower unit above bath) and it was working fine but when I went to use it this evening, the light came on, on ceiling switch but when the shower knob is turned to power no water is coming out
Any ideas what is wrong and what I can do to fix it? thanks in advance!

Is there a light on the shower housing at the top above the highest control dial?

If yes, is this actually lighting up with the switch on?

Can you put a photo on here of it?

You need to determine if the shower is actualy getting power from the switch, Tritons are pretty reliable but things that do go wrong with them in my experience is the solenoid which determins the mains water pressure can "lock shut" and may need replacing, the filter can become blocked within the inlet and may need a clean or the rocker switches burn out again may need replacing.
