    I have a triton t90, about 3 years old that I just pressed the on /off button & it is still leaking about 40% of the water emitted while in use. I have it plugged at the moment but any ideas how to fix it? I tried turning it off & on again a couple of time s but no joy. It has never leaked before.
    Thanks,

    It would help if you said where the leak was coming from. If it's coming from the hose connection it could be as simple as tightening that connection. If from inside the box it'll be something else!

    Sorry, I was unclear, the water is coming from the shower head as if it was switched on, but only on partial pressure.

    It sounds like the solenoid valve is letting by.
    Triton have an on-site repair service if you give them a call on 01-6286711 they will let you know how much the repairs will cost.

    Another thing to try might be to clear the head if you're in a hard water area. Limescale can build up and if you have the head dialled around to a particular setting, the blockage might be more obvious then.

    I suggest soaking the head in vinegar overnight if you do get limescale?

    Thanks guys, it was the solenoid after all, asked our plumber to get the part & he was in & out in 10 mins, all fixed!
    So great advice, thanks again! :)
