Triton LP

[smh1094]

I have a 5 year old Triton LP shower. Hot water is fine but cold water is a trickle. I have tried opening/closing hot and cold water feeds to clear any blockages etc but to no avail. I have looked in the loft and traced the cold water pipe to a big plastic tank. I dont know if this is the right one because when the shower runs, no water leaves this tank but that might be because the pipe is blocked. This tank doesnt have any sort of ball joint for overflow so I could be looking in the wrong tank. I am a complete beginner at this so would appreciate any suggestions to reinstate the cold water flow to this shower?

I dont know if this is the right one because when the shower runs, no water leaves this tank but that might be because the pipe is blocked...............YES, Very likely This tank doesnt have any sort of ball joint for overflow Your terms are mixed up so I could be looking in the wrong tank........possibly, but usually the larger of 2 is the domestic water one and a very small one is for the Central Heating.......... I am a complete beginner at this so would appreciate any suggestions to reinstate the cold water flow to this shower?

You could have any amount/type of debris down the pipe IF the tank hasn`t got a proper lid on it and other safeguards

problem solved - unscrewed the shower head, let the hose hang right down and switched it on. Loud gurgle and the cold water came out. Looks like it was an airlock! This was 30mins after a plumber came and quoted to replace the whole unit...
