Triton t90xr problem

cianoc07

Hello,

I have a t90xr shower. first off the warranty is gone by 2 years. The shower is fed from the water storage tank in the attic. Anyway shower turns on and pumps water. Say after a few seconds the sound from the shower will change and the water will go very hot and the pressure/flow of water from the shower will get weak. Then another few seconds later the sound will change again and the water flow will get a little strong but will be cold/luke warm.

is the shower on its way out? or is it a quick fix?
Is it costly to fix?

hi new to forum just thought id have a go
the first thing i would check is the water feed make sure theirs no restrictions i mean a constant flow could well be air locked or partially blocked
also take off cover and check filter white plastic circular point just after inlet can be opened by hand after that could be motor on the way out might be black soot inside cover
or a scaled up heat ex-changer which you could take apart and clean both can be replaced anyway check online let me no if any help

Okay so i opened it up there, It looks quite complex!!! Now i consider myself quite handy around the house and working on cars etc. but this is my first time tackling an electric shower.

Can someone (using the diagram in the link) explain what i should clean etc.

Number 10 in the picture is the filter....Turn off the water and open it up.... You can open it with the water still on as there is a ball valve there that stops the water flowing out but if that fails you will get wet... Anyway take it out and give it a clean....
also take the shower head off and let the hose fall down and turn on the shower and see if it works ok.... If it does then the shower head is blocked and causing the shower to run hot and cold.....
Obviously do this with the filter placed back in......
