hello mick,the shower is a triton passion 8.5kw,it is gravity fed from the tank,fitted the pump about 8yrs ago,my old shower just started going cold,so i thought i would fit a new one,as upon inspection i found the old cover was seriously split,but cannot get the flow to commission it properly,but as stated before,i cant even hear the pump kicking in

hi there,how would i check the pumps filter,and find out if there is an air lock in the system,i have checked the flow from the tank to the pump and that seems to be fine. cheers danfarrell
remove the flexi hoses and the filters are in the ends.
when you changed the shower why didn't you fit one of the triton showers with its own inbuilt pump they are better than a seperate pumped and electric shower.

hello again,to be honest, the shower we had was a triton t80si,which was fitted along with the triton pump by the local council,when i was looking after my mother,who had a few problems,that was 9yrs ago,so i just changed the shower thinking that would solve my problem,if i changed it to a pumped shower,would i have to do away with the pump thats there,and joint the hoses cheers danfarrell
yes get rid of that pump and just have a straight feed from the cws to
the shower.
the shower.
helo again,forgot to tell you that,there is also a whale pump,with a flow switch,as it is a walk in shower,as my mother needed a wheel chair,so i think that we need to keep the pump as the flow indicator is fitted on the outlet side of the pump,thanks again cheers danfarrell
whats the whale pump supplying ?
hello there,its not supplying anything,its for drainage from the walk in shower,as the shower base is at floor level, cheers danfarrell
yes sorry get you now.
