Triton Power Shower

I have had a number of these Triton power showers over this last seven years or so. Being a composite unit combining the booster pump and controls, they are easy to install even for the keen DIY enthusiast. Effective in use, giving a decent flow of water at a controlled temperature, so no complaints there but beware!!! Why beware you may ask! If I am being kind in my assessment of this shower unit I would say it is suitable only for light duty. When it was first installed there were five of us each using the shower at least once a day which resulted in the Triton lasting just over 2 years. At that stage it was completely knackered the motor having been run into the ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a Triton Power Shower from Index Extra Mail Order Catalogue, in September 1997, we purchased this as a replacement to a shower that broke down just after we moved into our house, the shower was installed thorough the catalogues installers, who were pleasant and friendly. Earlier this year the shower packed up, which was very scary, as I was using it at the time, it got very loud, and the smell of electrically burning was really strong. Luckily I had taken out a three year Insurance on it. I phoned the insurance company to say the shower had broken down, they arrange for a new shower to be sent, but I was left with the bill for having it plumbed back in. ...  Read the complete review

My friend has got a Triton power shower, they are ideal if you have got a seperate shower cubicle, unfortunately I haven't got a shower, because I prefer a mice long soak in a hot bath to a shower. My friend says they are a lot better than the ordinary showers and you have to have them connected to your exsisting hot and cold water supplies. They have a pump to boost the flow of water so if you like a really powerful spray then this is the one for you. When you buy this shower it comes complete with a 4 mode shower head, a flexible hose a riser rail, a soap dish and all the fixtures and fitting needed to install it. My friends ...  Read the complete review

We've had our 10.5kw Triton Opal shower for just over two years, but it is now dead. I've tested that power is getting to it, and it is, but that's as far as I can go with the limited knowledge I have. Triton suggested an engineer visit us, but with the call-out charge plus any parts, we'd be looking at at least the cost of a new one (my thoughts based on the £109 we paid for ours at Homebase) plus we'd get warranty, etc. However, now I've spent a few days shopping around for a replacement (like-for-like as I dont want more holes and more messing about with pipe-work) and I'm pleased to say that Homebase still stock them. So do Argos and a few other places, ...  Read the complete review

We bought a house in January 2002 that had had a Triton Ivory II power shower installed a year previously. It was great, pressure was fine, good temperature control, a good variety of different flows through the head and all together no complaints. Unfortunately after about six months the temperature started to fluctuate dramatically. A week or so later my husband was in the shower and it literally went up in smoke. The water went from scalding hot to freezing cold in a matter of seconds, there was a of crackling noise from the box and then smoke started to ooze out of the sides. Closer inspection revealed some of the wires inside had fused together ...  Read the complete review
