MAINTENANCE

The following maintenance procedure must 
be carried out for commercial and health care 
premises, but is not necessarily required for 
domestic installations.
Maintenance of the unit is required to give 
continued performance after installation and that 
it continues to provide scald prevention.

Note: 

a thermostatic mixing valve in need of 

maintenance can be undetectable in normal use 
and only becomes apparent when a disruption 
occurs in the hot or cold water  
supply temperatures or pressures.

It is a requirement that all 

TMV2

 approved 

valves shall be verified against the original set 
temperature results 

once every 12 months

.

 

a)  Initially check the filters for debris

 

once every 

three months and clean if necessary. 

b)  Perform a thermal shut off test 

every three months, and check the 
maximum temperature setting. See the 
‘Commissioning’ section for the details of 
this test and readjustment of the maximum 
temperature setting if required.

c)  If the maximum water temperature varies 

by more than 2°C from the commissioned 
setting then carry out the following checks

 

•  Check the isolating valves are fully open. 

 

•  Check the internal surface for scaling. 

If the body requires descaling then it should be 
removed from the pipework to carry this work out 
(all rubber parts must be removed before descaling).

 

• Check the function of the non-return valves

The non-return valves (NRVs) prevent cross-flow 
between hot and cold supplies under unequal 
pressure conditions. They are designed for long 
life with no maintenance.
If these checks do not highlight the reason 
for the temperature variation, then internal 
components will require replacement; please see 
the spare parts list.

WARNING!

DO NOT use ‘powerful’ abrasive or  

solvent cleaning fluids when cleaning the 

shower as they may damage the fittings.

Cleaning

Triton recommends that all products are cleaned 
using warm, soapy water.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemical 
cleaning products as this may affect the product 
surface finish and invalidate your guarantee.

Cleaning the filters 

(fig.A)

It is advised that this should be carried out by a 
qualified person. 

•  Turn off the water supplies before starting.
•  Remove the mixer from the mixer bracket. 
•  Remoce the retaining clips in the hot and 

cold inlets.

•  Remove the none return valve and filter.
•  Wash the filter thoroughly under running water,  

use a suitable brush to remove all debris.  

•  Reassemble in reverse order.

Disinfection

Where chlorine is used for the disinfection 
of water systems all relevant guidelines and 
approved codes of practice must be strictly 
followed. Failure to comply with the relevant 
guidelines and approved codes of practice may 
invalidate your guarantee.
