No Water from Triton Zante 3

[LordLiverpool]

Hi All

I will give you some background:

2 months ago I bought and fitted a Triton Madrid II Shower.
Everything was fine, then I had to fit new coving which meant moving the pullcord, I accidentally wired it up wrong and it made a loud bang and tripped the fuse at the board. After correctly wiring up the switch everything was fine, then a few days later the shower wouldn't switch on, no water was coming out.

I assumed I had damaged the shower so I purchased a Triton Zante 3, this time I took extra care to make sure I didnt make any mistakes, but no water is coming out, I havent been able to get past the commissioning stage in the instruction manual, i.e. the point where you just run cold water through the tank before heating it up.

Can someone please help, I am starting to smell and my girlfriend is very unhappy

did you use an isolation valve.

are you getting a light on the pullcord ?
is the power neon lit on the shower ?

Hi

Thanks for replying so quickly,

I didn't use an isolation valve, its polypipe that swops to a flexi hose (which isn't kinked) then finally a compression joint onto the shower, this all worked perfectly on the old shower.

Yes the pull cord light is on.

Yes the power light on the shower is on, it does flicker, is that normal?

Cheers

no i would say you got a bad connection or a faulty pullcord.
the neon will more likely go out when you try to commission the shower with the on/off button.

Ok that makes sense, I will buy a new pullcord tomorrow and get back to you with the answer, cheers

check the pullcord connections first one maybe just loose or worst you have damaged/burnt a connection when it went bang.

check the connections in the shower aswell.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow so just nipped to B&Q and bought a new pullcord.

Guess what?

ITS FIXED HOORAY!!!!!
