Product Information
Full details
The Triton Opal 3 Electric Shower (9.5kW) is designed for households seeking a straightforward and reliable showering experience. Its key benefit is the ease of use with separate temperature and power controls, alongside a convenient retrofit option for older Triton models. A potential caveat is that the 9.5kW power rating may offer less intense water pressure compared to higher wattage models, depending on water supply. This shower features a five-spray pattern rub-clean shower head and a phased shutdown system to safely flush out hot water post-use.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for the Triton Opal 3 Electric Shower?
The Triton Opal 3 comes with a 2-year parts and labour guarantee, valid in the UK only.
Can I install this shower myself?
While the unit is designed for easier retrofitting, installation involves electrical and plumbing work. It is strongly recommended to have the shower installed by a qualified electrician and plumber to ensure safety and proper function.
How do I clean the shower head?
The shower head features rub-clean nozzles. Simply rub your finger over the nozzles to dislodge any limescale buildup. For more stubborn deposits, a soft cloth or a soft brush can be used.
What is the benefit of phased shutdown?
Phased shutdown helps to prolong the life of the shower by flushing out residual hot water after use, which reduces the risk of limescale buildup on the heating element.
Is this shower suitable for a power shower system?
No, this is an electric shower that heats water on demand and does not connect to a separate power shower system. It requires its own dedicated electrical supply.
What is the difference between the 9.5kW and 10.5kW models?
The main difference is the power rating. A higher kW rating (like 10.5kW) generally means the shower can heat water more rapidly or achieve a higher temperature rise at a given flow rate compared to a lower kW rating (like 9.5kW), potentially offering a stronger flow of hot water.
Troubleshooting
No hot water or weak flow
Check the power supply is on and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the shower is set to the correct temperature and power setting. Check if the shower head or hose is kinked or blocked. If the problem persists, it may require professional inspection.
Shower won't turn on
Verify that the power supply is connected and active. Check the main fuse or circuit breaker for the shower. Ensure the temperature control dial is not set to 'cold' or 'off' if it functions as such.
Water is not hot enough
Ensure the temperature control dial is set to a higher temperature. Check if the mains water pressure is unusually low, which can affect performance. For 9.5kW models, the water temperature is dependent on the incoming mains water temperature and flow rate.
Phased shutdown not working
Ensure the shower is switched off using the dedicated power button or temperature dial, not by cutting the main power supply. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of the Triton Opal 3 Electric Shower should ideally be performed by a qualified electrician and plumber. Ensure the power supply is adequate for a 9.5kW unit and that appropriate wiring and circuit protection are in place. The unit is designed to connect to existing water inlets and electrical supplies for compatible Triton models.
Compatibility:
This shower is a direct retrofit for Triton Aquasurge, Perea, and Rosato electric showers. Verify your existing model before purchasing to ensure a seamless replacement.
Care:
To maintain performance and appearance:
- Clean the Shower Head: Regularly rub the nozzles on the shower head to dislodge any limescale. A soft cloth or a soft brush can be used.
- Wipe Down the Unit: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior casing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check for Blockages: Periodically ensure the water inlet is free from debris.
- Phased Shutdown: Do not turn off the power at the main switch immediately after use; allow the phased shutdown to complete.
