This document serves as an Installation & Registration Guide for the Triton Opal 3 electric shower, providing essential information for its safe installation, operation, and maintenance. It is designed to ensure a long and trouble-free life for the shower unit.
The Triton Opal 3 is an electric shower designed for domestic use, providing instant hot water for showering. Its primary function is to heat cold mains water on demand, delivering a continuous flow of temperature-controlled water through a shower head. The device is intended for permanent connection to the water mains and should not be connected via a hose set.
The guide emphasizes the importance of correct installation for the safe and efficient operation of the Triton Opal 3. Users are directed to an online installation and user guide for comprehensive instructions, accessible via a QR code or a direct web link: tritonshowers.co.uk/opal3guide. For those who prefer, an email address (serviceenquiries@tritonshowers.co.uk) and a telephone number (024 7637 8327) are provided to request the guide.
A critical installation requirement highlighted is the incorporation of a suitable double pole isolation switch in the fixed wiring circuit. This switch is necessary for supply disconnections, adhering to current wiring rules, and further details can be found in the Electrical Installation section of the full guide. The shower operates on mains water pressure only, with specified minimum and maximum inlet pressures to ensure proper function. For the 10.5kW model, the minimum inlet pressure is 150kPa (1.5 bar), while for other models, it is 100kPa (1 bar). The maximum inlet pressure for all models is 1000kPa (10 bar).
The guide includes a prominent "IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION PLEASE READ" section, outlining crucial safety warnings and precautions. These are vital for preventing injury, damage to the unit, and ensuring safe operation.
Key safety warnings include:
The Triton Opal 3 is designed for straightforward operation, providing instant hot water. The guide implicitly suggests that the user interface is intuitive, allowing for easy control of water temperature and flow. While specific controls are not detailed in this introductory document, the emphasis on a "trouble-free life" implies user-friendly design. The shower is intended for continuous use, delivering hot water as needed.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the Triton Opal 3. The primary maintenance instruction provided is that the shower head must be descaled regularly. This is essential to prevent limescale build-up, which can restrict water flow and affect spray patterns, ultimately impacting the shower's efficiency and lifespan.
The guide also specifies that only shower heads recommended by the manufacturer should be fitted, and no additional devices should be used to restrict the water outlet flow. This ensures that the shower operates within its designed parameters and prevents undue stress on the system. The outlet must not be connected to any tap or fitting other than those specified, reinforcing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the shower system.
A dedicated "WARNING" section addresses the use of the appliance by children and individuals with reduced capabilities. The Triton Opal 3 can be used by children aged three years and above, as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. It is explicitly stated that children must not play with the appliance, and cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children. This highlights the need for adult supervision and proper instruction to ensure safety.
