Shower on brink! Help please

[di30]

What a day so far!!

First of all losing connection with Puter, and knocked off, then slow, that seems to be sorted and now my shower appears to be playing up.

However, what happened was - I pulled the pulley cord, the light comes on for the shower, and the light on the shower comes on the same time, but..........no water, can't hear any signs of water coming through, so checked bath taps and basin taps and they're all fine.

Stumped! any ideas guys please?

Thank you in advance x

Re: Shower on brink! Help please

If you do have a water supply going to the shower the thermostatic control in the shower could be the problem

Good luck

Re: Shower on brink! Help please

In my limited experience with showers Di I reckon I don't know what is wrong with it! Was there any warnings signs before it packed in? Did the water stop and start just for a second or two or did the shower run too hot or too cold?
We have a Triton and I have replaced the tank inside on a couple of occasions, I called Triton and they were very helpful, I describe the symptoms and they told me what was wrong, not a cheap fix but the parts came with all fitting instructions so even I could repair it. Maybe ring the people who manufactured it, worth a try at least.

Right ok, I shall correct my wording lol, the shower was working enough to just about finish the shower but then slowed down then stopped before even manually stopping it on the stop button.

Thank you for the info guys.
