PRD Pressure Relief Device for Triton Showers

[Andrew hawkes]

My builder has fitted 14 Triton Showers to a block of flats which I let out, they are manager by a letting agent, I am now getting complaints that the pressure relive valve is operating and the agent informs the Plummer who changes £80 to fit a new £5 pressure relive valve
HOW CAN I modify the heater to stop this? Andrew

You can’t modify the heater to stop this, it’s often a pressure buildup from a blockage - eg hose/head etc.

Have you used the shower head and flex that came with the unit also I’ve had it before now someone was blocking the shower head

If there new there under warranty

Also don’t forget the agent puts there mark up ontop of the plumbers bill

If not the above then possibility that the cold water storage tank(s) is more than 10M higher than the shower resulting in excessive pump discharge pressure or somehow the shower supply is from the mains, this assumes a shower like the Triton T90SR which is a integrally pumped shower.
