Just moved in to the new house, and, as per title, there is a Triton
T80xr Shower unit. There seems plenty of water pressure, but the "Low
Pressure" warning is permanently lit and the water permanently cold. I
first turned it on not realising that it was controlled by a different
stopcock to the main house, so I suspect it needs some sort of
internal reset. I've tried switching it off by the isolator switch
outside the room, but no change.

Any ideas?

PS: If it should prove relevant, currently connecting via tethered
mobile with fringe reception - very, very slow.

The filter, as the water feed enters the shower will need cleaning
first. If that doesnt cure it, then it will be one of the solenoids
inside the shower. �15ish they are, as a plain solenoid, without the
valve.

Being as a new shower can be bought for �50, if the filter cleaning
doesnt cure it, I'd be fitting new shower rather than trying to fix the
old.

Assuming it is an electric shower.

There should be a filter inside that sometimes gets blocked. A couple of
minutes to clean. Worked for me with a similar problem.

Needs a suitable spanner, so that'll have to wait. Bummer! Still, at
least there's a bath as well.

Cleaned the filter, and there's plenty of water pressure, but still
the warning lamp is lit, and the water is cold.

Rang the helpline numbers given in the manual, neither are working.
Went to the website, but it repeated the uselessly obvious information
in the manual.
