Advice to users
IMPORTANT: When first installed the unit
will be empty. It is essential the unit should
contain water before the elements are
switched on. It is vital that the
commissioning procedure is followed.
Failure to carry out this operation will result
in damage to the unit and will invalidate the
guarantee.
The following points will help you understand
how the shower operates:
a. The electric heating elements operate at a
constant rate at your chosen power setting. It is the
rate of the water passing through the heater can
which determines the water temperature. (The
slower the flow, the hotter the water becomes; the
faster the flow, the cooler the water).
b. During winter the mains water supply will be
cooler than in the summer, so the flow rate will
vary between seasons at any one temperature
setting. At different times of the year you may
have to adjust the position of the temperature
control to maintain your desired temperature
setting.
c. The stabiliser valve minimises variations in
shower temperature during mains water pressure
changes. If changes in shower temperature are
experienced during normal use, it will most
likely be caused by the water pressure falling
near to or below the minimum level. The drop
in pressure may be due to water being drawn
off at other points in the house whilst the
shower is in use. If pressure drops appreciably
below the minimum, the heating elements will
automatically cut out.
If ever the water becomes too hot and you
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that the
sprayplate in the showerhead has not become
blocked.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep
through the joint between the cover and
backplate, and possibly damage the sealing
rubber.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING!
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The installation, supply cable and circuit
protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE
wiring regulations) and be sufcient for the
amperage required.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1 The shower must only be connected to a
230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a
shower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it
is advisable to contact the local electricity
supply company.
1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is shown
on the rating label (Fig.3) within the unit.
2 Before making any sort of electrical
connection within the installation make
sure that no terminal is live. If in any doubt,
switch off the whole installation at the mains
supply and remove the correct fuse.
3 The shower must be connected to its own
independent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT
be connected to a ring main, spur, socket
outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit.
3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate for
the loading of the unit and existing circuits.
4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)
has a main switch rating of 80A or above
and that it has a spare fuse way which will
take the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker
(MCB) necessary for the shower (Fig.4).
4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below
80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the
installation will not be straightforward and
may require a new consumer unit serving
the house or just the shower.
4.2 You will need to contact the local electricity
carry out what is necessary.
5 For close circuit protection DO NOT use a
rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated
Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or cartridge
fuse (see Table A).

be placed so that it is not possible to touch
the switch body while standing in a bath or
shower cubicle. It should be readily accessible
to switch off after using the shower.
7 Where shower cubicles are located in any
rooms other than bathrooms, all socket
outlets in those rooms must be protected by
a 30mA RCD.
8 The current carrying capacity of the cable
must be at least that of the shower circuit
protection (see Table B).
8.1 To obtain full advantage of the power
xed bath or shower, except for the
provided by the shower, use the shortest
cable route possible from the consumer unit
to the shower.
8.2 It is also necessary to satisfy the disconnection
time and thermal constraints which means
that for any given combination of current
demand, voltage drop and cable size, there is
a maximum permissible circuit length.
9 The shower circuit should be separated from
other circuits by at least twice the diameter
of the cable or conduit.
9.1 The current rating will be reduced if the
cabling is bunched with others, surrounded
by thermal loft or wall insulation or placed
in areas where the ambient temperature
is above 30°C. Under these conditions,
derating factors apply and it is necessary to
select a larger cable size.
9.2 In the majority of installations (see
Table B), the cable will unavoidably be
placed in one or more of the above
conditions. This being so, it is strongly
recommended to use a minimum of 10mm
cabling throughout the shower installation.
9.3 In any event, it is essential that individual
site conditions are assessed by a competent
electrician in order to determine the correct
cable size and permissible circuit length.

installers to determine the approximate
size of the incoming cable.

1. Measure the width of an individual strand,
and half that measurment to find (r),
e.g: 1.34mm ÷ 2 = (r) 0.67mm
2. Multiply (r) x (r) x 3.14,
e.g: (r) 0.67 x (r) 0.67 x 3.14 = 1.41mm
3. Multiply this by the number of wire strands
(usually 7), e.g: 1.41mm2 x 7 = 9.87mm2.
4. The number obtained would suggest
10mm2 wiring.

WATER REQUIREMENTS
The installation must be in accordance with
W
ater Regulations/Bylaws.
To ensure activation of the heating elements, the
shower must be connected to a mains water
supply with a minimum running pressure of
100kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of eight
litres per minute for the 8.5kW rated model and
nine litres per minute for the 9.5kW rated model.
For all units the maximum static pressure must
be no greater than 1000kPa (10 bar).
If in any doubt, the pressure should be checked.
Note: If the stated flow rates are not available, it
may not be possible to achieve optimum
performance from the unit throughout the year.
During periods of high ambient temperatures it
may be necessary to select a low power setting
to achieve your preferred shower temperature.
The water supply can be taken from a cold water
storage cistern provided there is a minimum
head of ten metres. Minimum head is the vertical
distance from the base of the cistern to the
showerhead. It must be an independent supply
to the shower only.
If it is intended to operate the shower at
pressures above the maximum or below the
minimum stated, contact Triton Customer
Service for advice.

SITING OF THE SHOWER
Siting of the shower
IMPORTANT: If installing onto a tiled wall
always mount the unit on the surface of the
tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit.
Refer to fig.6 for the correct siting of the
shower. Position the unit where it will NOT be in
direct contact with water from the showerhead.
Position the shower unit vertically.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the
shower to access the cover top screws. Leave
enough space between the left-hand side of the
unit and the wall to allow access to the pressure
relief device (PRD) in the future.
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 gel
hanger/hose guide will in most cases meet this
requirement, but if the showerhead can be
placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then
a double check valve, or similar, must be fitted in
the supply pipework to prevent back-flow.

Note: The control knob is an integral part of the
cover – DO NOT attempt to remove it.
Lift the cover from the backplate. To access the
pipe and cable connections lift off the trimplate
(fig.7).
Entry positions for the mains water are from the
bottom, rear or side. Cable entry is via the top
or rear.
Note: Deviations from the designated entry
points will invalidate product approvals.
If bottom or side surface entry is required for the
mains cold water, then the necessary opening
will need to be cut out in the trimplate (fig.8).
If surface cable entry from the top is required
then a small area will need to be cut out in the
backplate (fig.9).
If installing a feed pipe from the rear, bottom
or side the centre of the inlet valve to the wall
surface is 21mm (fig.10).
Note: If entry is from the rear, the nut of the
compression fitting will be partially behind the
surface of the wall (fig.10). This area MUST
be left clear when plastering over the pipework
in order to make the nut accessible for future
adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Always seal around the
incoming pipework to prevent water entering
the wall.
After choosing the site for the shower, use the
backplate as a template and mark the three
fixing holes (fig.11).
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).

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING!
The outlet of the shower acts as a
vent and MUST NOT be connected to
anything other than the hose and
W-004-A
showerhead supplied.
Plumbing connections
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit
as heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connect
to the inlet of the shower. (Push-on fittings must
NOT be used as full engagement cannot be
guaranteed).
Note: An additional stopvalve (complying with
Water Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mains
water supply to the shower as an independent
means of isolating the water supply should
maintenance or servicing be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet
of the shower, flush out the pipework to
remove all swarf and system debris. This can
be achieved by connecting a hose to the
pipework and turning on the mains water
supply long enough to clear the debris to
waste.
Procedure
Turn off water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the
mains water supply to the inlet of the shower
via 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15mm x 15mm brass elbow or straight
coupler compression fitting.
DO NOT use excessive force when making these
connections.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the two retaining screws which hold
it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
Note: At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.

The first operation of the shower is intended to
flush out any remaining unit debris, and to make
sure the heater unit contains water before the
elements are switched on.
This operation must be carried out with the
flexible hose screwed to the outlet but WITHOUT
the showerhead attached.
Make sure the outlet from the flexible hose is
directed to waste.
Before switching on the electric and mains
water supplies to the shower, check that the
power selector is in the COLD position (fig.20)
and the temperature control is turned to the
minimum flow position (fig.20).
Note: Failure to turn the control minimum flow
may cause the PRD to operate.
Turn on the electric and mains water supplies to
the shower. The power indicator will light.
Press the Start/Stop button (fig.20) and wait
until water starts to flow from the flexible hose.
Slowly turn the temperature control fully anticlockwise to maximum flow position (fig.21).
It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth
flow of water to be obtained while air and any
debris is being flushed from the shower.
When there is a smooth flow of water turn the
temperature control maximum to minimum
flow and back again several times to release any
trapped air within the unit.
Once flushing out has been completed, stop the
water flow by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Fit the showerhead to the flexible hose and place
in the showerhead holder.
The shower is now ready for normal operation.

Operating the shower
Make sure the commissioning procedure
has been carried out.
To start the shower
Press the Start/Stop button and water will flow.
To stop the shower
Press the Start/Stop button and water will cease
to flow.
Note: If restarting immediately after stopping be
aware that a slug of hot water will be expelled
for the first few seconds.
To use the power selector
The power selector has three positions – COLD,
ECONOMY and HIGH (fig.22).
The single blue symbol is for cold water only.
Adjusting the temperature control at this setting
will only change the force of the water from
the showerhead. (It will not alter the water
temperature).
The single red symbol is an economy setting for
using less energy when the ambient mains water
temperature is high during warmer months.
Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the
temperature control
Note: If the stated flow rate required for the unit
cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will
be necessary to operate the unit on this setting
during the warmer months because of flow rate
limitations entering the unit.
The double red symbol is a high power setting
which allows the highest flow achievable for
your preferred temperature. This setting should
normally be regarded as optimum shower
performance throughout the year. Temperature
adjustment is via the temperature control.
To adjust the shower temperature
The water temperature is altered by increasing
or decreasing the flow rate of the water through
the shower via the temperature control (fig.22).
After obtaining your showering temperature, the
number can be left as the normal setting and
should only need altering to compensate for
seasonal changes in ambient water temperature.

Zante 4 electric shower
Note: The preferred number on ECONOMY will
give a different temperature to the same number
position on HIGH.
To decrease the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise;
this will increase the flow of water through
the shower therefore decreasing the water
temperature, and is indicated by lower numbers.
To increase the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control clockwise; this will
decrease the flow of water through the shower
therefore increasing the water temperature, and
is indicated by higher numbers.
Note: It is advisable to be certain that the
showering temperature is satisfactory by testing
with your hand before stepping under the
showerhead. There will always be a time delay of
a few seconds between selecting a flow rate and
the water reaching the stable temperature for
that flow rate.
CAUTION: It is recommended that persons
who may have difficulty understanding or
operating the shower controls should not
be left unattended while showering. Special
consideration should be given to young
children and the less able bodied.
WARNING!
After any servicing of mains water
supply, always flush out the pipework
to remove any debris.
Always make sure the unit is started
on COLD in order to purge any air in
W-002-A
the pipework.

Operating functions
Power on indicator (fig.23)
When the electricity supply to the shower is
switched on at the isolating switch, the neon
power indicator will light.
Low pressure indicator (fig.23)
If this indicator lights, this means the water
pressure has fallen below the minimum required
for correct operation of the shower, resulting in
the low pressure cut-out operating. This switches
off power to the heating elements, preventing
any undue temperature rises (water will continue
to flow). Power will automatically be restored
when adequate water pressure returns.
Temperature limiter
During normal operation if an overheat
temperature is sensed power to the elements
will be reduced, although water will continue
to flow. When the temperature has cooled
sufficiently, power to the elements will be
automatically restored to the settings at the time
of interruption.
Safety cut-out
The unit is fitted with a non-resettable
thermal cut-out safety device. In the event of
abnormal operation which could cause unsafe
temperatures within the unit, the device will
disconnect the heating elements. It will require a
visit from a qualified engineer to determine the
nature of the fault and replace the safety device,
once the unit has been repaired.
