Triton T90si

nedd

Hi,

hopefully someone can help with this.

Just recently got a Triton T90si electric shower installed. Its working fine apart from the fact it constantly drips. non stop dripping. drip drip drip.... etc.

my partents have the same shower and theirs drips for about 5 mins when its used but this is just the hose emptying.

does anyone know how to stop mine dripping? its in the ensuite of the main bedroom and i can hear it dripping away all night. i'm losing sleep and starting to see little green people.... well that might be the drink more than the dripping

Cheers
Nedd

do you have a warranty? I imagine the solenoid valve is not closing properly. Part #16

only got the shower about a month ago in Chadwicks in Naas so i assume there is a warranty. you think i should get on to them about it?

theres no way of manually tightening the solenoid valve?

You just need to contact the store where you bought it and they can put in a service call to Triton and a technician will call out to check it. I had a problem with the pressure from my Triton and they called out no problem.

You should have 2 years warranty with that shower.

I'd the same problem with my old shower and the dripping was caused by dirt from the attic tank lodged in the main on/off valve. The dirt was plastic shavings from my recently installed attic tank. I just removed the valve and cleaned it out.

But if yours is under warranty then give them a call - they are in Maynooth 01 628 6711.

In the meantime, just hang the shower head down and against the wall so the water runs silently down the wall or else put a folded towel where the drips land.

Doyou turn off the power after it's used? Not on the showe ritself but there should be a pull cord or a switch to isolate it. this shouldnt be left on when the shower isnt in use.

Had the same problem and it was fixed under gurantee.

Nedd,

dont think you can manually tighten them since they are electrically controlled. More likely the seal is gone or something has caused it not to seal properly like dirt.

I have a Triton shower that when the power is turned off the water is still trickling out of the shower head. Only way to stop it is to turn off the house water! anyone help with this?

I have another shower the same that is in a batchroow but hasn't been used, how can I swap them around, is there a special tool to take the shower off the wall i.e. the water pipes?

Hi, Sounds like you need a new valve, If you have to ask how to swap the showers around do not do it, electricity and water do not mix, or rather they mix very well and will kill you. check for spares here.

do not go near your shower unless you isolate the electrics at the fuse board and make sure nobody touches it while you work.
