Well no luck. Triton are not nice. :( They said if it was 1 week after the end of the 2 year quarantee period then they would have sorted it, but 3 weeks is too long! They said that all they can do is send out an engineer but I would have to pay £90 upfront on a credit card before they even...
Well, you see I am not even sure where to turn the water off. And its not just me the plumber that came 2 years ago spent most of his time looking where to do this. Wish I had been there now to see what he did.
Well, I just spoke to a very helpful local plumber and he suggested trying Triton...
Yeah I know they must have a lot of overheads I don't doubt that. I have nothing against plumbers, I am just trying to keep my costs down. You know - coming up to christmas and all.

I've researched this particular shower and it seems to commonly have PCB and solenoid valve problems, which is what happened to my old one 2...
Thanks for the help and advice. Is this something someone who knows almost nothing about showers and electrics can do? :? Or is it time to get a plumber in?
I have just checked and I bought the shower October '06 :( So its just out of the guarantee period. How typical is that!
I have just tried the shower again, water comes out, but it doesn't sound right - like a motor like noise and the low pressure light turns on when its on the hot water...
Yeah I am hoping I might just be in the 2 year period. But there is still a possibility I might not be, but just be on the outside, will check tonight. :?
Hi,
I wondered if someone can help me. I have just recently started having problems with my electric shower. It is a Triton Opal 2. I am having the problem in that it appears to be working, but then after about 1 minute it will go cold or the water flow will just stop altogether. But then about...
