Hi all,
Got an Aquatronic 2 electric shower.
It's a few years old but here's the problem.
We can't switch it off from inside the shower...to turn it off and on we have to use the main switch outside the bathroom. When I say turn it on and off I mean for the water to start coming through. The temp swich is ok and the power light stays on even when we switch it to the off position in the shower. Have taken the front off, checked wires but there are a 2 grey switches that have a small white button on that operates the water inflow, I think....but there's also a similar sized black switch about 1 inch by half inch with two terminals and again a little white switch, that does seem to work ok when I push it in and out but could this be the problem as I think it's this that works the power on and off. Please help..cheers.

Is this a recent problem? If so then likely a switch so you'll need a multimeter to check where wires go ((boiler / pressure etc) to find which one is stuck. Order replacements and make sure all connections are tight when fitting.
 
You have 3 m/switches 2 for heating elements 1 for solenoid coil.
The m/switch on the far right is stuck on it controls the power to the coil.
 
Seco,
So it seems it's that little black one on the right ? Where would I get one of these switches ? Checked net and various parts available, some obsolete but they don't mention any of these switches that are behind the on off assembly.

When shower turned off at shower only check if the solenoid coil is still getting 230v.
Phone george at showerdoc.com He'll sort you 1 out.
