“I bought Triton as I thought it was a recognised make....”
★★★☆☆
written by on 10/03/2008
I bought Triton as I thought it was a recognised make. There was no warning the unit would be noisy, had I been aware of this I would have looked at an alternative method. Pressure head is 0.15 Bar (1.5meters) I thought with the addition of a pump this would have given a much better pressure.

“Triton T80Si 9.5kw - Given a choice of about 3 or 4...”
★★★☆☆
written by VirginiaS on 27/06/2005
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.
<br/>
<br/>Pressure in winter is poor on hot but OK in summer. Family always complaining about this.
<br/>
<br/>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.
<br/>
<br/>The cooler you want the water, the more water is allowed to flow over the element and thus more delivery at the shower head.
<br/>
<br/>The only way to obtain awesome pressure is by fitting a mixer shower (Using a tank fed system) and installing a pump. (expensive!)

“As a plumber and a member of the Guild of Master...”
★★★★★
written by tomcunningham on 15/08/2004
As a plumber and a member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, I fit Triton showers regularly and recommend them to all my clients. For the price.., roughly around £120..Sometimes a lot cheaper in end of season sales! They're superb value for money. I've fitted Mira Sports showers with 10.5kW ratings that are no better then these little crackers! Obviously, the Mira series are still excellent quality but if you look at a Mira Sport at around £240.. and compare it to the Triton at HALF THAT PRICE.. I wouldn't say the Mira was TWICE as good! Theres no conceivable difference between the flow/water delivery rates. None that I can see anyhow! So go and buy one. They're great value for money!
Just make sure you employ a registered Plumber and a qualified electrician to install it for you!!

Obviously from this review I would not buy a Mira, but it still leaves the question why is the pressure ( or lack of it ) a problem?

I can't help feeling that, being a plumber, this review is slightly biased. All end user reviews (not plumbers) are not favourable of this shower, but this could be down to being installed by anyone other than a professional plumber/electrician - subseqently the only reason for poor performance is incorrect installation. I do totally accept the low pressure problems and differences between Triton and Mira. I would never buy Mira, especially now.

1. The Triton T80 doesn't have a pump fitted to it.
<br/>2. They're almost silent in operation. (If you're is noisy.. then theres a fault.. or it's been installed incorrectly!)
<br/>3. If you have fitted / or have had a pump fitted to your incoming water main.., then you have broken the law and wasted your money. A pump will not increase your water mains pressure... It'll just damage your pump and make lots of noise!
<br/>
<br/>Hope this helps a little.
