1 PLUMBING NOTES
1.1 All installations must comply with Water
Regulations or Water Bylaws.
1.2 Supply pipes must be flushed to clear
debris before connecting the shower unit.
1.3 DO NOT connect the shower unit to
the mains cold water supply as it would
damage the unit and also, the installation
would be in breach of Water Regulations.
1.4 DO NOT use excessive force when making
connections to the flexible hose or
showerhead – finger tight is sufficient.
1.5 ALL plumbing connections are to be
completed and water supplies turned on
BEFORE switching on the electricity supply.
The shower must not be operated dry
without water.
1.6 DO NOT solder pipes or fittings within
300 mm of the shower appliance, as heat
transfer can damage components.
1.7 When installed, the top of the shower unit
must be at least 75 mm lower than the
base of the cold water storage cistern to
prevent the pump being run dry without
water.
1.8 A dedicated cold water supply must be
taken directly from the cold water cistern
to the shower. This draw-off must be on
the opposite side of the cistern to the float
operated valve to reduce the risk of air
entering the unit.
1.9 The action of the pump is to increase the
flow rate. If the supply pipework cannot
handle the resulting flow rate then:
1.9.1 The anticipated flow rate may not
be achieved.
1.9.2 Air may be drawn into the hot
supply from the vent pipe causing
spluttering and temperature fluctuations at
the showerhead.
1.10 Fullway isolating valves MUST be fitted
on the hot and cold water supplies to
the shower as an independent means
of isolating the water supplies should
maintenance or servicing be necessary. DO
NOT use stop taps or ball-o-fix type valves
which restrict flow.
2 ELECTRICAL NOTES
2.1 The installation must comply with BS 7671
‘Requirements for electrical installations’
(IEE wiring regulations). Make sure the
incoming hot and cold water supplies to
the shower are adequately earth bonded.
2.2 DO NOT turn on the electrical supply
until the plumbing connections have been
completed. Only then can the electricity be
switched on in order to power the solenoid
to turn water on to the shower when
commissioning. The shower must not be
operated dry without water.
2.3 The mains supply must be 230/240V, at
50Hz, connected to the unit via a double
pole switched 3 Amp fused connection
unit (not supplied) with a minimum 3 mm
contact separation gap in each pole.
2.4 In accordance with ‘The Plugs and Sockets
etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994’, this unit
is intended to be permanently connected
to the fixed electrical wiring of the mains
system.
2.5 Fuses do not give personal protection
against electric shock.
2.6 A 30mA residual current device (RCD)
MUST be installed. This may be part of the
consumer unit or a separate unit.

INTRODUCTION
This book contains all the necessary fitting and
operating instructions for your Triton Power
Shower. Please read them carefully.
The shower installation must be carried out by
suitably competent person and in sequence of
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will ensure a
long and trouble free life from your shower
IMPORTANT: All plumbing connections must
be completed BEFORE making the electrical
connections.
Please read through the whole of this book
before beginning your installation.
IMPORTANT: The fittings on the pipe inlet
elbows are of the push-in type. The pipework
must be cut with a pipe cutter and all burrs
and rough edges removed from the end
of the tube. The fittings can be used with
copper and plastic pipe.
Where chrome plated pipe is used, remove
the first 25 mm of plating.
Note: The pump inside this product is rated
15 minutes on / 45 minutes off duty cycle.
SAFETY WARNINGS
a. DO NOT insert fingers into the push-in inlet
fittings. Doing so could cause injury.
b. Under no circumstances must this product
be connected to mains cold or hot water
supplies. Failure to comply will invalidate
the guarantee.
c. The shower MUST NOT be used if
suspected of being frozen.
d. The outlet of this appliance MUST NOT be
connected to any form of tap or fitting not
recommended by the manufacturer.
e. The showerhead cartridge MUST be cleaned
regularly to remove scale and debris.
f. This appliance MUST be earthed.

Hot water temperature
Maximum temperature 65°C.
BS 6700 recommends that the temperature
of stored water should never exceed 65°C. A
stored water temperature of 60°C is considered
sufficient to meet all normal requirements and
will minimise the effects of scale in hard water
areas.
Maximum static inlet pressures
100 Kpa (1 bar) or 10m (supplies must be
gravity fed at nominally equal pressures).
Minimum static inlet pressure
0.75 Kpa (0.0075 bar) or 75mm (required to
prime the integral centrifugal pump).
Maximum supply head 10m.

Fig.3 illustrates all the incorrect connections that
must be avoided.
All pipework to the shower unit must be routed
where it remains below the level of water in
the cistern. In the case of horizontal sections
of pipework in lofts, it may be necessary to
fit automatic air vents at high points on the
supplies to remove the possibility of air locks.
For the operation of the shower only, it is
recommended that the cold water storage
cistern is capable of holding at least 114 litres
(25 gallons). Where other hot and cold outlets
are likely to be in use simultaneously, the storage
capacity should be increased to 228 litres (50
gallons) in accordance with BS 6700.
Do ensure compliance with the Water
Regulations/Bylaws.
DO NOT connect to a combination cylinder
unless there is a guaranteed 114 litre cold supply
to the cylinder as the shower can deliver up to
14 litres per minute. It is advisable to check that

SITE REQUIREMENTS
Water
The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations/Bylaws and BS 6700.
For correct operation of this shower unit, both
hot and cold water supplies to the appliance
must be gravity fed, at nominally equal
pressures, from a cold water storage cistern and
a hot water storage cylinder.
The water circuit should be installed so that the
flow is not significantly affected by other taps
and appliances being operated elsewhere on the
premises.
Fig.2 shows a recommended installation where
the hot water supply for the shower is made
via a tee connection on the underside of the
horizontal section of pipework from the cylinder.
Alternatively, the connection can be taken from
the hot supply pipe to other outlets as long as it
is the first draw-off below the ventilation pipe tee.
Fig.2 (Diagrammatic view – not to scale)

the infill rate from the float operated valve meets
the output requirements..
It is recommended that there is a minimum
of approximately 114 litres (25 gallons) of hot
water storage per appliance.
The shower MUST NOT be connected to the
mains cold water supply.
DO NOT use jointing compounds.
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES
1. DO NOT take risks with plumbing or
electrical equipment.
2. DO NOT install this unit in a position where
it could become frozen.
3. Isolate electrical and water supplies BEFORE
proceeding with installation work.
4. Shower control MUST be fed from a cold
water storage cistern and hot water cylinder
that provides nominally equal pressures.
Fig.3 (Diagrammatic view
not to scale)
5. The unit must be mounted onto the finished
wall surface (on top of tiles).
DO NOT tile up to the unit after fixing to
the wall.
6. If installing with rear inlet supplies, it is
recommended the supply pipework is sealed
to the wall so as to prevent water from
leaking back into the wall.
7. In solid wall installations, the supply
pipework should be housed within
ducting in order to allow some free lateral
movement when making connections and
to ensure compliance with requirements of
accessibility of pipes and pipe fittings.
Fig.4 shows a schematic wiring diagram of the
unit.

SITING OF THE SHOWER
IMPORTANT: If fitting to a tiled wall, always
mount the unit on the surface of the tiles.
NEVER tile up to the unit.
Refer to fig.5 for correct siting of the shower.
Position the unit vertically where it will NOT
be in direct contact with water from the
showerhead.
Note: Allow sufficient room between the ceiling
and the shower unit to access the top cover
screw.
Position the shower and showerhead on the wall
so that all controls can be comfortably reached
when using the shower.
The showerhead and riser rail can be positioned
either side of the shower unit.
Note: Water Regulations require the showerhead
be ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point
not less than 25 mm above the spill-over level
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed
appliance’. The use of the supplied soap dish will
in most cases meet this requirement, but if the
showerhead can be placed within a bath, basin
or shower tray, then a device must be fitted to
prevent back-flow.

REMOVING THE COVER
To remove the cover, first pull off the cover trim
(fig.6) to reveal the retaining screw.
Undo the screw and pull off the inner
temperature control. Now remove the outer flow
control assembly comprising of the flow control,
maximum temperature stop and temperature
disc (fig.7).
Note: If adjustment of the maximum
temperature stop is required, refer to section
’Adjusting the maximum temperature stop’.
Remove the two cover fixing screws – top and
bottom (fig.8).
Carefully lift the cover away from the backplate.
Lay aside the cover and screws until the unit is
fully installed.
Note: When removing the cover for future
maintenance purposes be aware of the lead
connecting the Start/Stop switch to the PCB
harness. To release, squeeze the connection
block arms and pull apart. DO NOT let the unit
dangle by the lead.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring
Note: The outlet of the shower must not be
connected to anything other than the hose and
showerhead supplied.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
When connecting pipework avoid using tight
90° elbows. Swept or formed bends will give
optimum performance.
Isolate the mains water supply to the cold water
cistern. Drain the hot and cold pipes by opening
all taps.
The hot water supply can be taken from the hot
supply pipe from the cylinder. Make sure that it
is the first draw-off below the ventilation pipe
tee in order to minimise the effects of water
draw-off elsewhere in the house (see fig.2).
Note: There must not be any other draw-offs
between the take-off point and the shower.
A dedicated cold water supply must be taken
directly from the cold water cistern to the
shower. This draw-off must be positioned

25 mm below the cold feed connection to the
hot water cylinder on the opposite side of the
cistern to the float operated valve (see fig.2).
This minimises air ingress into the pipework.
Plumbing options other than those outlined
in these fitting instructions could impair the
performance. For example, if hot and cold
connections are made after draw-off points
to other outlets, (eg. washing machine, taps,
etc.) it could result in unstable flows and
temperatures should other appliances operate at
the same time.
Run the hot and cold pipework to the shower
position, making sure that the pipework does
not rise above the level of water in the cold
cistern at any point to avoid air locks. Under
normal site conditions 15 mm pipework will be
adequate.
Decide the position of the shower. Cut the
pipework to the dimensions relevant to the
chosen direction of water entry into the shower.
IMPORTANT: For rear entry only, the supplied
elbows must be used. For ease of installation,
the backplate area adjacent to the top pipe
inlet must be cut out, including the top left
wall fixing hole.
When fitting the elbows to incoming pipework,
ensure the elbow collets are fully engaged with
the pipe.
Dimensions are shown in fig.9 and fig.10.
Note: The pipe inlets are marked for hot and
cold connections – left-hand side for hot inlet on
bottom entry (fig.11), but right-hand side for
hot inlet on top or rear entry (fig.12).
IMPORTANT: The fittings on the inlet elbows
are the push-in type. The pipework must be
cut with a pipe cutter and all burrs and rough
edges removed from the end of the tube. The
fittings can be used with copper and plastic
pipe.
If using chrome plated copper pipe, remove
the first 25 mm of plating completely from
the connecting surfaces. If not completely
removed then the collet will not grip the pipe
and under pressure the pipe may be forced
out.

Note: Pipework must be clipped or fixed to the
wall so that it cannot be moved or removed
without the aid of a tool.
Note: The pipe inlets contain filters. These
should be periodically removed and cleaned
in order to maintain the performance of the
shower. See section ‘cleaning’ on how to access
the filters.
IMPORTANT: The inlets contain check valves,
so before completing the connection of the
water supplies to the shower flush out the
pipework to remove all swarf and system
debris that may cause damage to internal
parts. This can be achieved by connecting
a hose to the pipework and turning on the
water supplies long enough to clear the
debris to waste.
IMPORTANT: Two factory fitted blanking
plugs are fitted to the top pipe inlets. These
should be left in position if bottom pipe entry
is required.
For top or rear pipe entry, the two plugs
MUST be removed and refitted into the
bottom pipe inlets. Failure to fit the
blanking plugs will result in the unit working
erratically.
Insert the pipe removal tool supplied between
the flange of the plug and the grey collet and
lever the plug outward (fig.13). Whilst holding
back on the collet, pull out each plug by hand.
When refitting the plugs in the bottom pipe
inlets, make sure they are pushed fully home.
Note: The unit is supplied with a splash guard
(fig.14) to prevent water ingress when top
entry pipework is used. If fitting top entry
pipework, make sure the splash guard is
correctly fitted (fig.14) before replacing the
cover.

FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL
IMPORTANT: Before fitting the shower,
make sure the pipework is flushed out to
remove all debris, flux, etc.
For top pipe entry or top cable entry, remove
the relevant cut-outs by either breaking out or
by using a knife or junior hacksaw (fig.15).
If top entry for both pipe and cable is required,
then additionally remove the shaded area
(fig.15) by using a knife or junior hacksaw.
For bottom pipe entry, remove the cut-out and
break off the two circular parts (fig.16). Replace
the cut-out.
For rear pipe entry only, the supplied elbows
must be used with the necessary portion of
backplate cut away as shown in fig.9.
It will be necessary if rear cable entry is required,
for conduit or other routing of the electrical
cable to be completed before fixing the shower
to the wall.
Offer the backplate unit up to the completed
pipework and manoeuvre so that the end of the
pipes enter fully into the inlet fittings.
Mark positions for wall fixing holes using
backplate as template (fig.17). Note that four
fixing holes are provided but using only two
should be adequate for most site conditions.
Using the pipe removal tool supplied, push back
and hold the collets from the pipework (fig.18)
to disengage the pipework from the inlet elbows.
Remove unit from the wall.
Drill and plug the wall.
(An appropriate drill bit should be used. If the
wall is brick, plasterboard or a soft building block,
appropriate wall plugs and screws should be fitted).
Note: If fitting rising supplies to the unit, ensure
debris does not enter the pipes when drilling the
wall.
Offer the backplate unit up to the completed
pipework and manoeuvre so that the end of the
pipes enter fully into the inlet fittings.
Check the backplate is square and the fixing
holes are aligned (fig.17).
Secure to the wall with fixing screws supplied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The supply cable must conform to relevant
tables in current IEE regulations. In most cases
1 mm² twin and earth will be adequate.
The electrical rating of the shower is on the
rating label within the unit.
SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT
THE MAINS.
Cable entry points are shown in fig.1. Conduit
entry can only be from the rear.
Route the cable into the shower, taking care to
avoid the area of the wall fixings and connect to
the terminal block (fig.19) as follows:
Earth cable to terminal marked E
Neutral cable to terminal marked N
Live cable to terminal marked L
IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the terminal block
screws and check that no cable insulation is
trapped under the screws.
Note: The supply cable earth conductor must
be sleeved.
The earth continuity conductor of the electrical
installation must be effectively connected
electrically to all exposed metal parts of other
appliances and services in the room in which the
shower is to be installed, to conform to current
IEE regulations.
Note: Fuses do not ensure user protection
against electric shock. In the interest of electrical
safety, all mains electric and pumped showers
should be fitted with a 30mA residual current
device (RCD). This may be part of the consumer
unit or a separate unit.
DO NOT switch on the electricity supply until
the water has been turned on to the unit and
connections have been tested for leaks.
IMPORTANT: The cover may be left off
initially only for commissioning.

COMMISSIONING
The first operation of the shower is intended to
flush out any remaining system debris and to
ensure water is purged through the unit. This
operation must be carried out with the flexible
hose screwed to the shower outlet but without
the sprayhead attached.
Make sure the outlet of the flexible hose is
directed to waste.
Check the isolating valves controlling the water
supply to the unit are fully open.
Note: There is no need to fit the cover at
this stage but be aware of live parts when the
electricity is switched on temporarily.
Fit the temperature control onto the splined
spindle (fig.20).
On the PCB, make sure the commissioning link is
positioned on the middle two pins (fig.21).
Switch on the electric supply at the isolating
switch. Water will begin to flow under gravity
pressure.
Once the unit has been commissioned,
disconnect the electricity supply before removing
the commissioning link.
In order to dispel air and to prime both supplies
to the shower unit, turn the temperature control
several times within its rotational limits. ONCE
WARNING!
Before normal operation of the
shower, it is essential that the
commissioning and setup procedure
are correctly completed. Failure to do
so could cause the pump to run dry
without water and invalidate your
guarantee.
WARNING!
Be aware of live parts in the unit
when the electricity is switched on.
DO NOT tamper with any parts and
DO NOT deviate from the following
instructions.

RESISTANCE IS FELT, DO NOT FORCE THE
CONTROL FURTHER.
Note: The temperature control rotates less than
one complete turn (fig.22). DO NOT force it
beyond these limits.
To stop the water flow, switch off the electricity
supply at the isolating switch.
Check for leaks in the pipework and remedy
if necessary. If rear entry has been used then
seal around pipes with mastic to prevent the
possibility of water entering the wall cavity.
DO NOT use plaster as this could cause difficulty
if maintenance is required later.
Setup procedure
MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICITY TO THE UNIT IS
SWITCHED OFF.
Pull off the temperature control. Remove the
commissioning link from the PCB (fig.23) and
store safely for future use.
Inside the cover, attached to the flow control
potentiometer is a 4-wire lead. Fit the connector
on the end of this lead to the 4 pins on the PCB
(fig.24) – it can fit either way.
Make sure the potentiometer control is rotated
fully anti-clockwise (fig.25).
Replacing the cover
Offer the cover to the backplate unit. Inside
the cover, attached to the stop/start switch is
a two wire lead. The socket on the end of this
lead must connect to the plug attached to the
backplate unit (fig.26).
Fit the cover, making sure the connector is fitted
to the PCB and the wires are clear of obstructions.
Secure with the top and bottom fixing screws
(fig.8).
WARNING!
Once the unit has been commissioned,
turn off the electricity supply at
the mains before removing the
commissioning link.

With your fingers, rotate the valve spindle fully
anti-clockwise (fig.27) to the fully hot position.
Replace the flow control so that it aligns with
the ‘min’ position.
Fit the temperature disc (it will only fit one way)
and maximum temperature stop (fig.28).
Note: If adjustment of the maximum
temperature stop is required, refer to section
’Adjusting the maximum temperature stop’.
Replace the temperature control onto the valve
spindle. Make sure the pointer aligns with
setting ‘9’ on the temperature disc (fig.29).
Secure with the retaining screw and fit the cover

*FITTING THE RISER RAIL
Decide the position for the rail on the wall within
the shower area. Proceed as follows:
Fit the showerhead holder onto the riser rail.
The correct orientation of the holder is when the
showerhead holder is sloping DOWN (fig.30).
To fit the showerhead holder onto the riser
rail unit, press and hold the button on the
underneath of the showerhead holder to release
the locking mechanism, then slide onto the rail.
Slide the supplied soap dish onto the riser rail
below the showerhead holder (fig.31).
Slide the top and bottom finishing trims onto the
riser rail (fig.32).
Push the two fixing brackets into the ends of the
riser rail (fig.33).
Offer the rail assembly to the wall (fig.34).
Using the brackets as templates, mark two upper
holes and two lower holes. Note there are four
provisions for screws per bracket – select the two
most suitable for your requirements. Make sure
the rail is aligned vertically.
Drill and plug the wall.
(An appropriate drill bit should be used. If the
wall is brick, plasterboard or a soft building block,
appropriate wall plugs and screws should be fitted).
Screw to the wall.
Slide the finishing trims onto the brackets. Make
sure the lug on each rail bracket end engages
into the slot on the fatter end of each trim before
push fitting the thinner ends in place (fig.35).
WARNING!
Check there are no hidden cables or
pipes before drilling holes for wall
plugs. Use great care when using
power tools near water. The use of
a residual current device (RCD) is
recommended.

Fitting the hose and showerhead
Feed the flexible hose through the soap dish
aperture (fig.37) so the dish acts as a retaining
ring (Water Regulations).
Screw the flexible hose to the shower outlet and
showerhead, checking the supplied washers
are in place at both ends of the flexible hose
(fig.38).
Place the showerhead into the holder and check
that it fits correctly (fig.39).
Note: The holder is slightly tapered and the
showerhead and hose will only fit from one
direction.
IMPORTANT: It is the conical end of the hose
which grips into the holder. The showerhead
will not fit in the holder without the hose
attached. At this stage, disconnect the
showerhead and lay aside until the shower
unit has been commissioned.
CAUTION: This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given

OPERATING THE SHOWER
Check all plumbing and electrical supplies are
connected and switched on.
To start the shower, press the ‘Start/Stop’ button
(fig.40).
Adjust the control (fig.41) until the flow rate is
satisfactory.
For maximum flow, turn the flow control fully
anti-clockwise. For minimum flow, rotate the
flow control fully clockwise.
To adjust the temperature rotate the control
(fig.42). The temperature is numbered for ease
of use. The temperature ranges from-‘1’ – fully
cold to ‘9’ – fully hot.
Once the preferred temperature is reached, no
further adjustment is required, providing the hot
and cold water supplies remain constant.
To stop the shower, press the ‘Start/Stop’ button
once more. This stops the pump and water flow.
Unless the shower is to be used again
immediately, the shower should also be switched
off at the electricity isolating switch.
As a safety feature, the temperature control
has a built-in stop to prevent you accidentally
exceeding your highest desired temperature. If
adjustment is required see section ‘Adjusting the
maximum temperature stop’.
To override this stop, depress the button
(fig.43) while the control is up against the stop
and turn the control anti-clockwise to the higher
settings (pressing the button before the stop will
not operate the override mechanism even if the
control is turned with the button depressed).
To return to the normal temperature range just
turn the temperature control clockwise until it
is past the maximum temperature stop. Make
sure the temperature control is in the normal
temperature range when the shower is switched
off. The stop comes in a factory set position
based on 65°C stored hot water temperature.
Note: As the flow control is adjusted it is normal
for the sound of the pump to alter in pitch.

ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE STOP
As a safety feature the shower has a built-in
maximum temperature stop to prevent you
accidentally exceeding your highest desired
temperature. This is set in the factory to provide
a maximum temperature based on the hot
and cold water supplies being 65°C and 15°C
respectively.
IMPORTANT: Only adjust the maximum
temperature stop when the hot water is at its
usual storage temperature.
Procedure
Rotate the temperature control to setting ‘9’ on
the temperature disc.
Remove the cover trim to reveal the retaining
screw (fig.44).
Undo the retaining screw and carefully pull off
the temperature control, making sure it is still
aligned to setting ‘9’.
Now remove the maximum temperature stop.
To increase the temperature stop setting,
reposition the mechanism anti-clockwise within
the arc of the grooves (fig.45).
To decrease the temperature stop setting,
reposition the mechanism clockwise within the
arc of the grooves (fig.45).
Replace the temperature control onto the valve
spindle. Make sure the pointer aligns with
setting ‘9’ on the temperature disc (fig.28).
Secure with the retaining screw and refit the
cover trim.

and bottom (fig.8). Carefully lift the cover
away from the backplate. To release the
PCB connector, squeeze the connection block
arms and pull apart.
Remove the single retaining screw from either
the upper or lower filter cover (fig.46),
depending upon whether top/rear entry or
bottom entry is used. Pull off the filter cover.
Carefully hook out the filters together with ‘O’
rings. Thoroughly clean and replace making sure
the ‘O’ rings are in position.
Refit the filter cover and secure with the
retaining screw.
Make sure the potentiometer control is rotated
fully anti-clockwise (fig.25).
With your fingers, rotate the valve spindle fully
anti-clockwise (fig.26) to the fully hot position.
Fit the cover, making sure the PCB connector is
fitted and the wires are clear of obstructions. Secure
with the top and bottom fixing screws (fig.8).
Replace the flow control so that it aligns with
the ‘min’ position.
Fit the temperature disc (it will only fit one way)
and maximum temperature stop (fig.27).
Replace the temperature control onto the valve
spindle. Make sure the pointer aligns with
setting ‘9’ on the temperature disc (fig.28).
Secure with the retaining screw and fit the cover
trim.
Switch on the electricity supply to the unit and
then turn on both water supplies.
