Shower Broken??

[Ace Modder]

Hi

Any experts in here.

I was mid way through having a shower last night and the thing just broke on me.

Water started leaking out the bottom of the unit from a rogue pipe, which I didnt know was there. It seems it is a safety pressure pipe which has popped.

I have opened the shower unit up and found this.

The front pipe is the pipe which the shower head leads too and the smaller rear pipe seems to be the excess pipe for pressure.


If I connect the shower head pipe all the pressure of the water goes to the rear pipe and just leaks down to the floor.

Anyone know if/how I can fix this?

The shower is a Triton T70i.

I think the overflow pipe valve has popped/broken. But not an expert.

Here is a pic of the over flow pipe. There doesn't seem to be any valve here.

Although I have found this on ebay.

Think this may fix it.

I have ordered the part so should be fixed in a couple of days.

I will just smell out my fellow OcUK purchasers till then hahahaha

All fixed, the £6.99 ebay jobbie sorted it, I have descaled the shower head and all is good now.

10/10 for my DIY skillz.
