Aspirante Remote electric shower

ADVICE TO USERS

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 unit which determines the shower 

temperature at a given setting. (The slower 

the flow the hotter the water becomes, and 

the faster the flow the cooler the water).

b

.

  During the winter the cold water supply 

will be cooler than in the summer months. 

Therefore, the temperature of the water 

will vary from season to season on any one 

setting of the control buttons, e.g. if you 

have chosen 'Economy' power for your 

preferred shower temperature in the summer, 

you will have to select the 'High' setting and 

adjust the temperature control during the 

winter months.

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 while 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 the 
showerhead has not become blocked.

specification may be altered without prior notice.

IMPORTANT:

 When first installed (or following 

replacement of the PRD), the unit will be empty. 

It is essential the heater assembly contains water 

before the elements are switched on. As this 

unit has electronic control, 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

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY 

This product is intended for domestic use.

This product may temporarily be affected by 
electromagnetic disturbance near to the installation 
that could cause temporary operation of the low 
pressure indicator together with switching to the cold 
power selection. If problems persist, contact Triton 
Customer Service (see rear page).
