Triton T90si Shower - NOT WORKING :-(

foxinsox

hi all,

I was in the shower last week, and it just stopped.
The trip switch on the main fuse board had flipped down.
I flipped it back up, power is going to shower.
It makes normal noise but no hot water, it's not heating water at all.

I usually have 20 min showers and have been told thats probably too long.
The shower is about 8 years old.
Thermostat has been replaced twice.
Very hard water area, clogs up everything.

Do you think it is dead?
Any idea of approximate cost?
Any ideas or solutions?

I have been having baths every day and am getting roasted having the central heating on to get hot water :rolleyes:

Any answers greatly appreciated

Time for change I would think.

Shower approx cost €295. Fitting about €60 plus VAT

Thanks for your answer Micky


thats money I don't have right now

I was hoping it might be able to be fixed maybe?

Anyone else any ideas?

Micky Dolenz

You could fix it.Element probably around €100 for part and labour on top, over €60 atleast.

Weighing it up I'd rather a new shower with a warrenty than throwing another part into an old one.

I'm clean!

Thanks for your advice Micky.

I rang around got a few quotes, most seemed to be quoting around €290 for shower plus about €60 - €70 labour.

I shopped around and got a Triton T90xr from a plumbing supplies merchant for €240 and I got a plumber to come and install it the same day I called him! He said €50 for labour over the phone, then said €40 when he was finished! I gave him €70, I was so impressed and I suppose I was smelly too!

So a good news story!
The moral of the story is: shop around for your shower!

Great deal on the Mira elite at the moment... Very sim to the T90

How could you go wrong. Traditionaly woodies has always been cheapest on the T90 and b&q on the mira but yes no harm in driving around... You will at least save petrol
