FAQs

Can this shower be used with an electric water heater?

This is a mixer shower that requires connection to both a hot and cold water supply from your home's plumbing system. It is not an electric shower and cannot be used with an electric water heater that only supplies hot water.

What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower?

The Triton Dene mixer shower requires a minimum dynamic pressure of 0.1 bar for effective operation. However, for optimal thermostatic performance, a higher pressure is generally recommended.

How do I clean the shower head to prevent limescale?

The shower head features rub-clean nozzles. After showering, gently rub the nozzles with a soft cloth or your finger to dislodge any limescale buildup. For more stubborn deposits, use a mild vinegar solution applied with a cloth.

Is this shower suitable for a bathroom with an unvented water system?

Yes, this shower is suitable for all water systems, including unvented systems (often associated with high pressure), as well as gravity-fed systems.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been verified to meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish Byelaws, ensuring it does not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.

Can the riser rail height be adjusted?

Yes, the riser rail kit allows for adjustment of the shower head height and also features adjustable wall fixing centres for more flexible installation positioning.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water supply to the shower.

Check that the water mains are turned on and that the hot and cold water isolation valves to the shower are open. Ensure there are no blockages in the water supply pipes.

Temperature is too hot or too cold and cannot be adjusted.

Verify that the shower is receiving both hot and cold water. Ensure the flow rate is sufficient for the thermostatic valve to operate correctly (check minimum pressure requirements). If the issue persists, the inlet filters may be blocked or the thermostatic cartridge may need servicing.

Low water pressure from the shower head.

Clean the shower head nozzles by rubbing them with a cloth to remove limescale. Check for any kinks or blockages in the shower hose. Ensure the inlet filters within the shower valve are clean.

Thermostatic control is stiff or difficult to turn.

Check for any signs of limescale buildup around the control. Try gently moving the control back and forth. If stiffness persists, the internal mechanism may require cleaning or replacement of the thermostatic cartridge.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile installation due to adjustable riser rail fixing centres.
  • Durable construction with fewer moving parts for longevity.
  • Compatible with all water systems, including gravity-fed.
  • WRAS approved for peace of mind regarding water regulations.

Cons

  • Thermostatic control may require a minimum flow rate to function optimally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires connecting the shower to both your hot and cold water supplies. The unit is supplied with a wall fixing plate and all necessary fittings. The riser rail kit features adjustable wall fixing centres, providing flexibility during installation to match existing hole positions if replacing an old shower. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free according to standard plumbing practices.

Compatibility: This shower is compatible with all water systems, including gravity-fed (low pressure), pumped gravity, universal (balanced pressure), and combi-boilers (high pressure). It requires a minimum dynamic pressure of 0.1 bar and a maximum of 10 bar.

Care: To maintain the shower's appearance and functionality, regularly clean the shower head nozzles using a damp cloth to remove any limescale. The shower controls and chrome finishes can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
