, if 

any of the following occur:
If it is intended to operate the shower at 

pressures above the maximum or below the 

minimum stated.
If the unit shows a distinct change in 

performance.
If the shower is frozen.
If it is intended to operate the shower in areas 

of hard water (above 200 ppm temporary 

hardness), a scale inhibitor may have to be 

fitted. For advice on the Triton Scale Inhibitor, 

contact Triton Customer Service.
The showerhead must be cleaned regularly 

with descalent to remove scale and debris, 

otherwise restrictions to the flow on the outlet 

of the unit will result in higher temperatures 

and could also cause the Pressure Relief Device 

in the unit to operate.
This product is not suitable for mounting into 

steam rooms or steam cubicles.

PLUMBING

The plumbing installation must comply with 

Water Regulations, Building Regulations or any

debris before connecting to the shower unit.
DO NOT solder pipes or fittings within 

300 mm of the shower unit, as heat can 

transfer along the pipework and damage 

components.
DO NOT fit any form of outlet flow control as 

the outlet acts as a vent for the heater can.
DO NOT use excessive force when making 

connections to the flexible hose or 

showerhead, finger tight is sufficient.
All plumbing connections must be completed 

before making the electrical connections.

A 30mA residual current device (RCD) MUST 

be installed in all UK electric and pumped 

shower circuits. This may be part of the 

consumer unit or a separate unit.
Switch off immediately at isolating switch if 

water ceases to flow during use.
Other electrical equipment i.e. extractor fans, 

pumps must not be connected to the circuits 

within the unit.
