If you currently have an 8.5kw shower, you will be able to do a straight swap out.

I need to replace the old 8.5 triton Seville. Will the existing wiring need to be changed too or is it a straight swap?

Had ours 5 years @GaryOConnor and it's used by a family of four at least 6 times a day 365 (y)

I’ve had one of these for best part of a decade. It gets used at least once a day and has never gone wrong. Thoroughly recommended.

Thanks for that, appreciate your response.

The 8L/min is only on Argos and B&Q sites, and seems to be incorrect, probably someone inputting it has misread a 3 for an 8

It's in the description above. I thought they looked the same apart from the swirl design

Beauty of Triton showers is they are almost always a straight swap on the plumbing

I agree with others saying go for 10kw. Yes 8.5kw is bit low.

No idea where you got the figures from, but the Triton Enrich 8.5Kw and the Triton Madrid II 8.5Kw are one and the same shower internally as are others in the range, the name often depends on where you buy it! See here: https://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/electric-showers/madrid-ii-electric-shower.html?spares=true and https://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/electric-showers/enrich-electric-shower.html?spares=true I started off with a Triton Caselona II which was already installed about 21 years back and have had about 3 replacements with different names over the years all fit identically (and quickly) and perform identically!

Precisely my point...... A lucky 7 years as opposed to 20.......

Or of fitted, used and maintained correctly will last 7 years like mine did. Poor workmen blame the products all the time

Appropriate price given that the Components are designed to fail after 100 showers. The Triton in my house was fitted in the 1980's and kept going until 2008 because they were built to last and had a price tag that matched the quality. The cost per shower with these modern units has gone through the roof especially when you factor in labour costs to constantly swap them out due to internal components being made from recycled milk bottles

I see no trolling. Far from it. But ignore away.

Lol Its what in the head that matters What is common sense and good communication? I'm ignoring anymore trolling

Or there's this Triton one I bought from Amazon for £48.95 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Triton-Seville-10-5kW-Electric-Shower/dp/B0035549XQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1544950317&sr=8-3π=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=triton+seville+10.5kw+electric+shower&dpPl=1&dpID=31uM-5-sgYL&ref=plSrch

Thanks OP, just purchased to replace my Mira Sport

You are correct. 10mm would be required for a 10.8kw shower. My calculations were based on a 9.5kw.

Same with mine, cold pressure good but as you turn up the heat it plummets, have a pump driven mains shower in other bathroom thats great, shower screen dropped to bits last week hence using other bathroom and shower. Guess just need to pull my finger out and fix it

I have the 12KW Mira sport and the pressure isn't great when making hot water. Plumber recommend it though. Mine has been in 3 years. Makes good pressure when putting out tepid/cold water though.

aha that's why your called smartguy1 8)

10min shower costs 21p. Edit: 12p a kw is just an average figure, best to find out how much your electric company charges you.

Ohh i had no idea thx for letting me know otherwise i felt puzzled... Not to be too rude.. Do you have slightest idea what is the actual running cost? not the number that company gives with unknown settings.. This is more of a curiosity question i have never really paid attention to it anyway to this moment

thanks thought all electric shower need a RCD. was hoping to change out my own shower but would not want to overload a power line. but changing or testing a power line is over my head. :)

10.5 kw per hour, lets say 12p a kw, 10 minute shower costs 21p in electric.

As this is a 10.5 kw shower, the cabling would need to be upgraded to 10mm up from 6mm plus a residual-current device (RCD) would need to be fitted. Standard 6mm may get too hot and could catch fire.

If you're on a newly installed combi, you should be fine. It's pumping water round your heating system so should be more than enough to give you a more powerful shower than any electric could ever hope to!

Interesting thanks, recently upgraded to a combi, purchased this shower to tide us over as the current one is a bit naff and old, never really considered going the direct free route but will look into it

Of course. Any shower does. If you're feeding it from a combi, you should have plenty pressure. If you're going from a storage tank of some sort, it can get more complex, depends where tanks are, you may need to use a pump, etc etc. But the general rule is the same. If you're able to go direct and avoid an electric, I always would. After you've had a direct feed shower almost all electric ones feel pathetic. I haven't used a single electric shower since I switched to a combi fed one that didn't feel feeble.

Surely it depends how good your water pressure is though?

If you have a combi boiler, or some other way of direct feeding a shower with hot water, go with that and forget about electric ones. My shower runs off my combi, my OH's shower is electic (9.5kw one I think). Her shower is like a dribble compared to mine. Direct fed beats electric every time as far as I'm concerned.

It has gone out of stock at Amazon but you can still pre-order at the above price.

Hot & I hope the shower is. Thanks OP ordered. 2 poor Mira 9.5kw showers so looking forward to this Triton one

I have the 10.5kw and it's great. The big difference for me coming from an 8.5 is that when it's cold out and you increase the temp, the pressure is still good. Really good pressure on 6 which I use it on mostly.

I have the 8.5kw version.. paid about £50+ at b&q.. it works.. but on the temperature dial that goes from 1-10(1 being cold,10 being hottest)when u set it at lets say 9 or 10,it just clicks and puts itself in “sleep mode”producing just cold water despite it being on hot setting,u wont get hot water til u change it back to a lower setting,say 3-5...it will however remain working at like up to setting 7-8 for example,its still warm enough for a winter shower,so i guess its capable of intending what it is for,but it wont give you proper hot water like how its supposed to at maximum setting(it actually does work at 10 the maximum setting,but just for like 5 seconds before it clicks n stops working). I assume the problem is only with the 8.5kw coz i’ve rented a flat before where they had the same shower and same “sleep mode”issue.. not sure if it was 8.5kw too though. I’ve tested my water pressure,theres no problem.. so it has to be the actual model of the shower. Almost called a plumber out from triton which wouldve cost me £80+ for them to say its just the electric shower being low power

There is only one left and it has the 80T model left. Best to expire this

That's why they are closing down

They sell for £85 without discount on eBay brand new, misleading 70% discount.

Fantastic price, I like Triton showers, got 3 bathrooms and all of them got Triton showers, nearly 5 year nor had any problems yet.

Nvr use triton. Rubbish

This is going cold. No idea why. I thought this was a good brand and this seems a great deal. Could anyone just explain why as I'm looking at renewing my leccy shower. Thanks.

I know what you mean, I cut my last Chinese GF* up, and there was nothing resembling sugar, spice or ANYTHING nice spilling out!!!! On a more serious note, I hope you took it back; there are good Chinese manufacturers and some down-right dangerous ones; the trouble is telling them apart (and no, I dont mean because they all look the same!!!). * JOKE ALERT!!!

updated to make sense. Thanks

That's more like it. Now we just have to contend with all the fake Chinese rip off cable on the market that has been spliced and covered over ( if you don't believe me I will find some pictures I took of it).

Cross section able ?? 60 metres of days ??

Hmm, that is a bit odd. Try this one TLC calculator 10mm is really borderline though, as a retired sparky myself, I put in 16mm for my 9.4KW shower, yeah 10mm would do, but derating for how the cable runs through walls et, alongside other cables, ambient temperature etc.... For 10.5KW, running the shower on 10mm during a really hot summer like we have just had puts the derating into the danger zone. In practice, you are going to run the shower at a lower power level during the hot weather, as the ambient water temperature is going to be higher, but if the shower develops a fault, and you get a near short circuit, that cable insulation is likely to melt/burn, even with the correct CB fitted..

thanks for response, i was kinda leaning that way myself just from googling the symptoms, turns out a new tco is 20 quid anyway so may as well just buy the new shower and get a fresh warranty :)

It might be the thermal cut out (TCO) cutting out prematurely for some reason. I'm no plumber though. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable might know.

These are much clear than the Aqualisa ones. Much difference in quality??

If you have the right cable get the 10kw one someone just posted for the extra fiver it’s the one to get. If you don’t have the cable don’t.

Is this a decent upgrade to my Mira Galena?

Triton customer service for the guarantee is really good if any issues with the shower occur. Were out next day when mine stopped working.

good find

not bad price

(lol) (lol) (lol)

... just electrocuted me, AAARRGHH!

Too heavy for driving, too bulky for anything on the green. Perhaps of use in a bunker?

Expired 😩😩😩😩

Bagged the £59 deal last month from Amazon. Built it last week. I also have the Max for over a year now. Max is considerably better for the extra money if you can get that on a deal. Main difference other than larger size is fitting a couple of wheelie bins in, also has optional fitted chains inside so when the lid lifts it lifts the bin lids too. Also, hydraulic assist on the lid. Bolt lock is better than the one on the midi. Door on the max has a foot bolt, which stops the bottom splaying out. Great for £59, OK for £78 but wouldn't pay more than that unless for the Max. Tip: when you get the item delivered, check carefully straight away that you have all the parts & no cracks, damage, warping etc, even if not building it straight away. Notorious for getting damaged in transit & need to go on the Keter website & order replacement parts.

Thanks for the update and the pictures are a great help too. (y)

No. It is way too small. The Max would probably take a kid's bike OK but you need the Ultra if you want to fit in an adult bike.

Nice one, I think I will buy this one for my countryside house. No point buying proper water system as we do not spend a lot of there tho.

This. We also have one of each kind (not in the same enclosure, obvs!). However, ours, in the loft en suite has decent pressure. I think decent showers of at least 9.5kw are better these days then they used to be and a decent shower head can help. However, if you have an old electric shower and are looking to replace, you need to be aware that new cabling may be required if it has more kw.

I agree but I put one in the ensuite as backup as the boiler has broken twice in only 10 years but has taken over a week both times to get it fixed and I was happy to use the electrical one even though the power reassembled a watering can.

Thanks for posting, I just broke our electric shower this week by hooking it up as a water source for a pressure washer. Thought I was saving a few pounds by not getting an external tap fitted (lol)

I hate electrical showers, they are just not powerful at all. It's much better having a combi boiler what makes hotwater with real pressure.

OOS

Ok

A quick look at the schematics shows this is not the same internal layout as the previous "Caselona" or "Caselona II" models, so don't expect an instant replacement on you existing pipework & cabling :-( The nearest fit seems to be the Triton "Enrich" model which is still widely available for about 48 to 50 quid in 8.5KW version. Other models (name seems to depend on where you buy it!) seem to have the same internal component layout and may well fit like for like too, although don't expect to be able to fit a higher rated unit on cabling intended for a lower powered one .

wow, good price usually the cheapest price for these are £55
