General Comments

Triton T80Si 9.5kw - Given a choice of about 3 or 4 products by my plumber 2 years ago, I chose Triton as it was a brand I had heard of.

I have never been satisfied with the shower head, which is far too heavy to hold when manipulating it to wash my hair. If I just stand beneath the shower the water spray alone is not forceful enough to penetrate my hair, let alone wash out the shampoo. I live on the first floor and the water comes from the cold inlet so it should not be a pressure problem.

Even in Summer, unless we are having a heatwave, I have to use the "full power" option to get water than is anything more than lukewarm.

    Absolutely agree with Virginia's summary, although she obviously has more hair.

    Pressure in winter is poor on hot but OK in summer. Family always complaining about this.

    Shower is on ground floor so normal pressure should be no problem.

    Every electric shower has this issue.... Unless you're going for a 10.8 kW monster... and even some of those have issues!... Its all down to the way the unit heats up the water... To get hotter water... the mechanics of the shower slow (staunch) the flow of water over the heating element so it heats it up more... hence... less water to the shower outlet.

    The cooler you want the water, the more water is allowed to flow over the element and thus more delivery at the shower head.

    The only way to obtain awesome pressure is by fitting a mixer shower (Using a tank fed system) and installing a pump. (expensive!)

    Thanks for the explanation

    I will now be able to understand but not appreciate on cold days

    However I know what I need to do to resolve it
