The following points will help you understand
how the shower operates:
a. The electric heating elements operate at a
constant rate at your chosen power setting. It
is the flow rate of the water passing through
the heater unit which determines the shower
temperature at any given setting. (The slower
the flow the hotter the water becomes, and
the faster the flow the cooler the water).
b. During the winter the cold water supply
will be cooler than in the summer months.
Therefore, the temperature of the water
will vary from season to season on any one
setting of the temperature control, e.g. if
you have chosen 'medium' power for your
preferred shower temperature in the summer,
you may have to increase that to 'full' power
during the winter months.
c. If for any reason there is a sudden rise in
water temperature, the shower has thermal
cut-out devices built-in (see items 3 and 4
under ‘Fault Finding’).
d. If water ceases to flow switch off the shower at
the start/stop button and the isolating switch.
Contact Triton Customer Service for advice.
If ever the water becomes too hot and you
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that the
sprayplate in the showerhead is not blocked.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep
through the joint between the cover and
backplate, and possibly damage the sealing
rubber.
