    . We have a Triton T90Z shower in house. I drained the water tank in the attic as we were away for a month ... On the last occasion when I went to use the shower only a trickle if water came out accompanied by a peculiar noise. I would say it is an air lock. Question - how do you get rid of the air lock. ......

    The pump has probably airlocked, so it's a case of power to the shower OFF, remove the cover, and on the body of the pump, towards the bottom of the pump, there will be an air vent valve that needs to be opened to release the air trapped in the pump body.

    When that's been done, put the cover back on, the power back on, test it and it should be fine, as long as all the air is out of the line.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁
