Daughter's (Feb 2023) 9.0kW Shower takes ~ 15 to 25 secs to reach its normal flowrate after pressing the start/stop button, it looks like the solenoid valve plunger is sticking while opening but not while closing as it shuts the water off instantly on pressing the button. The coil checks out fine, a resistance of 3.66k ohms, 236V at the coil terminals when energized and ~ 233V after the microswitches close. The water is perfectly clean with no limescale.

O rings are not supplied with the replacement, wonder has anyone had any problems with reusing the old ones?.

For interest, below shows a typical diaphragm type solenoid valve like the Triton uses.
