FAQs
What is phased shutdown and why is it important?
Phased shutdown is a technology that flushes out preheated water from the shower after use. This helps to reduce the build-up of limescale on the heating elements and internal components, potentially extending the shower's lifespan and maintaining performance.
What is the minimum water pressure required for this shower?
The Triton Amala 9.5kW electric shower requires a minimum water pressure of 0.2 bar for operation. It performs best with balanced hot and cold water pressure between 0.2 and 6 bar.
How do I clean the shower head?
The shower head features an easy-clean design. You can typically wipe the nozzles with a damp cloth or use a soft brush to remove any limescale. For stubborn deposits, a mild limescale remover suitable for bathroom fixtures can be used, followed by rinsing.
Can this shower be used with a combi boiler?
This is an electric shower, meaning it heats water on demand using electricity and does not require a boiler. It is a standalone unit.
What type of plumbing system is the basin mixer tap suitable for?
The mono basin mixer tap is suitable for all plumbing systems and operates with water pressures between 0.2 and 6 bar. It is designed for use with balanced hot and cold water supplies.
What is the warranty period for the shower and the tap?
The Triton Amala electric shower comes with a 2-year parts and labour guarantee (UK only). The mono basin mixer tap has a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing faults.
Troubleshooting
No hot water from the shower
Check the RCD and circuit breaker are on. Ensure the water supply is turned on and pressure is sufficient. Verify the shower's temperature control is set correctly. If the problem persists, a qualified electrician should inspect the wiring and heating element.
Low water flow or pressure
Ensure the water mains supply is fully open. Check the shower hose and head for blockages or kinks. Clean the shower head nozzles and tap aerator. Ensure water pressure is within the 0.2-6 bar range.
Shower makes unusual noises
This could indicate limescale build-up or an issue with the heating element. Run the phased shutdown cycle. If noise continues, professional inspection may be required.
Tap is dripping or leaking
Check that the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the internal ceramic disc cartridge may need replacement. Contact the manufacturer for parts under the 10-year guarantee.
