I have a 10kw Triton Electric Shower which I cannot run 'warm'. With the setting on one red indicator and dial on first 'red' number 7 it is very hot. If I turn the dial right down to number 3 on the 'blue' (cold) numbers it does not cool down. Likewise if I select the blue cold water setting and put the selection dial to any red number to get warm water it just runs cold. Is this correct? Any info appreciated. Had it two years now so not an option to return. Good Shower but too hot.

Your best putting this on the plumbing section.
You may want to call Triton they may honour the warranty if its just out the 2 years. If not ask them about their service repairs. They can be competitive.

Is this a recent development?
I had a similar problem. Thought the shower was knackered but it turned out it was low flow to the shower. Not enough flow meant it heated the water a lot more. Mine was fed from after a pressure reducing valve and long story short, it works if you run a tap on the same feed (in my case the sink) then turn it off.
Cold water temp might play a part too. My shower will only be comfortable on the warm setting in summer, on high it's just too much on any number, however in winter you can put it on hot and turn the temp down low and get a real nice shower out of it.

You could hear the difference in the flow from the shower. Just turn the shower on, warm or whatever but the temperature set as low as possible, open the tap up a good bit then close it. The flow out from my shower would drop with the tap open then increase above the initial flow after it was closed.
