Yes, that does make sense, modify the tank to fit the pipework rather than adding something in between :) Like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/conex-male-coupler-302-22mm-x-1/64912 Guess I should check the diameter of the thread pattern inside the tank once I've removed the 28mm coupler...

Hi, I've had a leaking hot water tank for about 6 yrs, it's just a very very slow weep but it's about time I fix it. :!: So a friend of mine had his heating system switched over to a combi so has a <2 yr old tank going spare. It's exactly the same size and pipe positions as...

This thread is so old I'm sure the issue was resolved.....thanks for posting the resolution!! One thing it might have been was a poor connection in the light fitting. I had one of those shower extractors that contain a light in the middle of the ceiling vent. In the cold weather the light...

Final update.... So received the spare part this am via the posty, checked the continuity and all was good...the little disk of thermal sensitive sheet metal was really loose in this TCO, but what the hell I need the shower fixed now! Disassembled the unit again and got the part in...

Lol yes I have already cleaned the scale trap as it was so shockingly bad :) I will admit this is the 1st time since comission. I currently have a non-standard shower head but things are fine on most of the settings. Thanks for the reply.

Hi, Thanks for the warning.... The unit wasn't frozen it was only the pipework in the loft, I think that the unit is free of leaks as you can run it normally and it doesn't leak just no hot water. In the pictures you can see the top of the can, I can't see any physical damage so...

well as suspected it failed the continuity test.... Why don't triton use a resetable TCO?? they could include a reset button on the circuit board as it's almost fraud as resetable TCO's have been around for years. How do they work, after it failed the continuity test we dunked it in a a...

Might of knacketed it when wiping the thermal grease then as it did depress slightly but came back out again? We will see....

Getting carried away now :) I have removed the TCO from the unit so I can take it to work tomorrow. This is the bottom of the TCO with the thermal grease wiped away, here you can make out the letters I posted about earlier, is this a sign that it's been triggered? This is the...

Just a couple of pictures With the cover off The TCO Anything unusual? ;)

fingers crossed that the TCO is dead tomorrow :)

I only managed to get the NC to flash up a couple of times when I had been messing with the pipe feeding the pressure switch that ?triggers the display thermistor? (not entirely sure of my terminology here) and the shower seems to run normally, all be it cold if I leave it alone and go through...

I've asked around at work and i'm getting my hands on one tomorrow. Does it seem likely that this is the cause as the shower was put under pressure/stress because of the frozen pipe and the can re-heating hot water a few times? I've removed the TCO so that I can test it easily, must say...

Hi, I've got a bit of a problem with my ol Triton t100si. Because of the cold weather the pipe feeding the shower in the loft froze so no water was getting to the shower unit. I tried the shower a couple of times and so did the wife and the kids. The shower would start up and then...

Hi @pompeyal, Thanks again for the reply, what you have described is pretty much what I thought was needed anyway, so I guess I'll have to have a proper measure up and then get myself to the builders merchant to sort it out. I was a little unsure of "check on the weight lead is required"...
