Triton 2000XT inside wet

[pete435]

I called my plumber yesterday as the flow in my shower was weak, he suggested cleaning the filters.
The electrical supply to my shower is isolated so I am able to turn off power to the shower exclusively. My house is built in a such way though that it is impossible to turn off the water supply to the shower, my plumber knows this.

So I take off the cover to clean the filters, the actual filter cover itself, and water comes spewing out EVERYWHERE.
I managed to clean the filters and replace them, all while water is spouting out everywhere.

My question is, the inside of the shower obviously got pretty wet, electrical components and everything, (still have the power switched off), what do I do now?Is the shower extremely dangerous to operate, should I get a new one?
All help appreciated!

The correct reply would be to get a qualified electrician to run an insulation test on the shower before it is used.

However by the time you have paid for this you could almost have bought a new one with clean filters.

Of course, an internet advice forum is not the right place to suggest you could try to dry it out with a hair dryer, even it was a good idea.

Bear in mind that nearly all electric shocks in bathrooms are fatal due to the extra hazards and improved conductivity. Even bringing a hairdryer into the area is a risk and care is needed.

The filters are clean, I removed them, cleaned them and replaced them so that's okay.
I'll suppose I'll contact an electrician on Monday just to be on the safe side, feels very risky going near it myself.
