Triton Electric Shower issue
Discussion
Wonder if anyone could help....
We have a triton T80 electric shower which has recently been playing up. I press the power button and it's a trickle. It can last either a couple of seconds or maybe a minute before it kicks in and starts full flow. A peculiarity is that as it trickles, if I turn the cold tap on and off on the sink in the bathroom, the shower jumps into life pretty much instantly.
A faulty pressure switch perhaps?

We've got an old Triton in one of the bathrooms. There's not much to them - the pressure switch just checks if there's enough pressure and turns the heater off if there isn't.
The temperature dial thing - I think it's called the stabiliser valve - increases the temp by turning the flow down (and vice versa). They're supposed to adjust themselves, for instance is someone opens a tap elsewhere, so some problem in that valve is the only thing I can think of. As far as I know there's nothing else variable in the flow from in to out.
Does anything change if you move the stabiliser valve knob?
