No, not fixed IMO, the LP neon is only supposed to light when the water pressure is so low that the diaphragm cannot keep the microswitches closed to keep the heating elements on, you had power with the LP Neon on?.

- electric error shower warning light
The pressure is now 4 bar (up from 2 bar) (5m head from garage to shower head) and the LP neon light definitely does not turn on now on the Triton thermostatic shower even when I flushed the toilet and turned cold tape on the sink with the shower on. So it appears the water low pressure is the issue. The test I just ran with 4 bar was turn shower on flush toilet turn tap on the LP light did not come on
We'll leave at that, Mira, IMO do it properly, the Eco microswitch has 2 sets of contacts, one is NO which closes when the water pressure is adequate and supplies 230V to the heating element, the other NC contacts open and switch off the 230V to the LP neon. Happy showering anyway.
Thanks for the help. At least we found out that the Triton thermostatic shower needs a set min pressure to stop the LP light from coming on

That's kinda why they are there in the first place.
From the horse's mouth, (no) not mine.
"Low Pressure Indicator (fig.23) If this indicator is on, this means the water pressure has fallen below the minimum required for correct operation of the shower, resulting in the low pressure cut-out operating. This switches off power to the heating elements preventing any undue temperature rises (water will continue to flow). Power will automatically be restored when adequate water pressure returns"
