Electric ShowersElectric Showers require cold water only which is heated instantly to provide a hot shower. – An electric shower only heats the water you use once the shower is switched on. It does not use the hot water heated or stored by the household water system – An electric shower is always ready to use 24 hours a day seven days a week -The higher the kilowatt power rating (kW) the better performance and greater the flow of heated water | Mixer ShowersMixer showers require hot and cold water which is ‘mixed’ together to provide a hot shower. – Mixer showers use the hot water heated by the household water system – Generally produce higher flow rates compared to electric showers – Mixer showers must be matched to your household water system. High pressure systems such as combi boilers, are ideal for mixer showers -Add a pump on a low pressure systems to to boost water flow rates | Power ShowersPower showers require hot and cold water which is ‘mixed’ together and the built in pump increases water flow, to provide a hot shower. -Power showers are made for use on low pressure systems only. An internal pump increases the flow of water to provide a powerful shower – Power showers are not to be confused with electric showers as they do not heat water -Generally produce higher flow rates than electric showers and many mixer showers |
Gravity fed hot water system
This system has a cold water tank in the loft or in the top of the airing cupboard and a hot water cylinder below it. The water in the cylinder is heated by a boiler or an electric immersion heater and fed to taps via a pipe from the top of the cylinder. As the hot water in the cylinder is used up, it is replaced with cold water from the tank above, which in turn is refilled from the mains water supply via a float operated valve. System water pressure is usually low. To give a higher pressure and flow rate from a mixer shower a booster pump can be installed.
Gravity fed hot water system with Booster Pump
This system has a cold water tank in the loft or in the top of the airing cupboard and a hot water cylinder below it. The water in the cylinder is heated by a boiler or an electric immersion heater and fed to taps via a pipe from the top of the cylinder. As the hot water in the cylinder is used up, it is replaced with cold water from the tank above, which in turn is refilled from the mains water supply via a float operated valve. System water pressure is increased due to the addition of a Booster Pump.
Unvented System
An unvented system has a hot water cylinder that is connected directly to the mains cold water supply and there is no need for a cold water tank in the home. The water is heated by a boiler or an electric immersion heater. As everything is under the pressure of mains water, the flow rates from taps and showers are much better and a pump is not needed to get a powerful shower. An unvented cylinder can be installed virtually anywhere e.g. in an airing cupboard or garage.
Combination Boiler
A combi – boiler can be located anywhere within the home. More often wall mounted but some are floor mounted. It heats water ‘on demand’ when a hot tap or mixer shower is turned on. Connected directly to the mains cold water supply at high pressure there is no need for a hot water cylinder, cold water tank or shower pump in the home.

Pretty basic shower but does the job. There isn’t really any channel at the back for the electric cable to go. I didn’t find it easy to fit.
i can’t say how easy it was to fit as i’m not a plumber, but my plumber completed it in 2 hours.
Purchased this to replace a much older Triton 1 shower. This product gives many fitting options and was an easy and straight forward process. Another advantage is that this is more powerful and thus provides much hotter water.
This don’t look much inside but when installed it’s lovely….powerful and hot and mines only just in the red heat setting so plenty more if you like it hot…10.5kw is definitely the way to go compared to 8.5kw
Very happy with my new shower, smart looking and a great price. 2 years guarantee. I had it fitted by a qualified Plumber so I cannot comment on how easy or not, it was to fit or the instructions.
No brainer, really.
The Triton won’t win any beauty contests but who cares about cosmetics?
Temperature control easy to use, easy to install, instruction manual good.
Great shower for the money I bought this one to replace my old t70 very easy to swap ove
Triton are always good reliable and easy to fit showers. The Amazon price was cheapest available and next day delivery.
Well, unfortunately I can’t fit it myself and I paid on top of the price. But now I have shower and it’s strong and hot! Happy!
Please create a push switch on button for Airbnb guests! They can’t figure it out how to use / switch on the shower!
Nothing to dislike,it’s a bigger output of water than the one I had, nothing wrong with it, it was not working properly, but the new one you sent to me is great, will recommended it to all.
Easy to install
Bought the very reasonably priced Triton Seville to replace my old Triton Madrid which packed in due to the solenoid.
Installation was straight forward due to having same entry points for water and power. I paid 65 for the shower and 36 plus VAT (approx 43 inclusive of VAT) for a plumber to install due to having no idea how to do it. Installation first time requires plumber but replacing doesn’t as far as I know.
After a couple of weeks of baths for our family of 4 the shower was bliss
Seems a good, easy to operate shower so far, with good power with the 9.5kw shower. The temperature control is easy. One minor criticism would be that there could be a marker on the on/off switch to say where the dial is pointing. A wee mark or arrow on the end may be a good idea.
I dislike nothing about this shower because of its value for money and I am still very pleased that it is still working like when i first got it. I got it in 2014 and this review is in 2021.
This was the first shower installed in my apartment and I did not install this shower myself. I got a plumber and electrician to set it all up for me. The electrician advised I get the lowest 7.5 version because of the cable that was needed.
The shower has a dail with numbers 1 to 10 for choosing the temperature. It also has 3 heat settings, cold (blue bar), warm (one red bar) and hot (2 red bars). The water heats up very good but the pressure isn’t perfect on just the warm setting. I never shower on warm setting now because the pressure is better on the hot setting.
I had no issues with the items delivery.
Replaced a Redring (8.5kW) shower that lasted 13 years, so I can’t complain about that. I would have ordered a Redring again, but the models are a bit bigger and would not have fit in width. I decided to go for a basic version of the Triton (at 9.5 kW) as I do not really need the sophistication of some models. Just on and off, hot, less hot and cold. This has been in place for a couple of weeks and seems fine. An electrician installed it (same guy that installed the Redring) and it was basically “like for like” so slotted in nicely. Some minor adjustment to the feeding water pipe. I went for the 9.5kW version and glad i did, the water pressure here is pretty good so I get agood pressure and can get it very hot, ready for winter. Only caveats are: The Eco setting won’t be any good really as it doesn’t get warm unless the flow is really low. I don’t know what power it is. I am not worried about that though. Also, it says it’s noise level is 15dB; I don’t know what distance that is measured at (with audio, it is normally 2 metres), but that is whisper quiet. This hums, but not particularly loudly, but it’s greater than 15dB. I thought it might be mine, but a friend also has this model and that is the same. Not a problem really. So yes, very good basic shower and good value for money. If it last a a couple of years or more I will be very happy
Basic Shower unit, works very well, simple two control design so not much to go wrong, not like is reported on some of the clever ones with LED readouts you either freeze or you get scolded. The new unit 9.5 kw and was was identical to the old 10.5 kw one that was over 7 years old, so straight forward swap, I didn’t buy the 10.5 kw as experts now say you need 50 amp for 10.5 kw , mine is 40 amp though never had a problem. Only gripe, the 6 screws for closing the unit were missing, not a problem as used screws from old faulty unit. But a concern re quality control, electrical units with bits missing, though only screws, should not happen. The shower head supplied, as expected on a low cost unit, is pretty grim, but it is free, so unless you are desperate, buy a descent one – I have an upmarket one already fitted that cost more than double the Triton and makes a world of difference…
A good enough shower that you can set up to be on the hotter or colder side, do not expect power shower pressure though if you are on ‘normal’ water pressure. HOWEVER be warned that the shower has an auto thermal cut off when the water pressure reaches a low threshold – ie when the water company are fixing a leak down the road, or your water inlet is split between houses (in older streets), or something else is using the water. This threshold is pretty high to be honest, as in we had to change our shower out for a different one after 4 years as it wasn’t providing hot water a good 20% of the time, and turning up to work unshowered more than a few times is not great!
I bought the 10.5Kw version @ approx 62 and iI installed it about a week ago.
Installation was pretty smooth, my only gripe being that I didn’t know what position the top dial was in (and don’t know how you can figure it out in advance of switching it on because it never ‘stops’ rotating – i.e. keeps rotating in both directions). This is important to know because when you first switch it on it must be at the ‘cold’ position for commissioning.
Its winter and pretty cold but I still haven’t felt the need to use it on max temperature yet, seems to warm up quite nicely between the 6-7 mark
To be frank @ 62 you cant go wrong. I checked the price for the parts and just the heating element costs approx 90! ( underneath the cover the main components are the same as the ones in the most expensive triton showers- the expensive ones just look nicer and have more lights)
If they’re still selling it at 60 when you read this review then bite their hands off for it… even if its just to strip it and sell the parts on ebay!
INSTALLATION
Wow, easy to fit and I mean easy, everything comes into the shower on the RH Bottom Corner and there is enough room for a large compression elbow and a chunky 10mm Twin & Earth Cable.
Fixing screw one on the top and one half way down made it simple, the bottom half of the shower detaches to allow you to make off the Water and Electrical Connection, another BIG Plus.
Strange but the outside cover had 4 small screws, one to each corner to hold the front cover on, I thought that could have been taken to 2 on the top and a clip in piece used for the bottom, save having to get down on your hands and knees to put screws into the bottom of the lid.
NEGATIVES
Like all things on this planet it would have been good had the electrical connection been above the water inlet, instead on the Other Side half way up, I was lucky that there was enough slack in my cable, others may not be so lucky!
HOT WATER
Run on Med setting in November, not great, warm at best
Run on High setting in November, HOT and Great Flow, I love the handset, which really reduces the flow rate to produce a rip rubbing sensation like a shot blast.
SUMMARY
5 Stars from a Company that could have invented the Electric Shower, they have been in the Industry that long.
Love that there are no PCB’s (printed circuit boards) such a problem and the COST of replacing a real drain on your pocket
This is like buying a straight 4 cylinder engine with no engine management system, love it.
Parts readily available and if required a Service Engineer can be supplied without breaking the Bank
Just ordered 3 more for our other Apartment rentals at http://holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/cardiff/307424
Mr Spence Eng
This was bought as a replacment for our old Triton T80si shower which finally broke after many years. We did have a look to see if it would have been possible to repair, but after looking online at the cost of replacement parts, it didn’t seem worth paying 50 for parts that might not have been correct.
Like other reviewers, because of the cabling we had to have a 7.5kW shower and not many places seem to sell them now. Even buying from Triton direct they had very little choice in 7.5kW and they were more expensive than the Seville. The free Amazon Prime trial meant we got free next day delivery too.
It took my mum and I about 2 and a half hours to fit, and the most diffcult part was probably taking off the old shower. It turned out we were trying to unscrew the nut on the water inlet pipe the wrong way!
Luckily we could use the old screw holes from the previous shower unit, so there was no need to drill any extra holes. We kept the old riser rail so we didn’t have to drill any holes for that either. The box included rawl plugs and screws for the riser rail but not for the shower unit, but as we didn’t need to drill any extra holes for the shower unit this was ok, we just reused the old screws. If you’re drilling new holes you’ll need rawl plugs and possibly screws.
You will also need a new nut and olive for the water inlet pipe, which we got from our local plumbers merchant.
After securing the new unit to the wall and turning on the water to test for leaks, we turned the power back on. The fitting instructions said to make sure the controls were aligned, which we discovered meant the on/off control needed to be in the ‘stop’ position on both the front cover and on the unit. When we turned the power back on, the shower came on straight away as the unit control was ‘on’, we had to turn it off and change the button on the unit.
The fitting videos on the Triton website (http://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/triton-for-the-homeowner/triton-products/product-videos.aspx) came in useful for making sure we were doing everything in the correct order. The videos aren’t specifically about the Seville but the basic steps are the same.
The shower head supplied with the Seville is definitely an improvement on our old one, it’s lighter and has five different flow settings. The shower itself is good, and very similar to the old Triton shower it replaced.
If anyone is unsure about fitting it themselves, I’d say give it a go, it was easier and quicker than we thought it would be. I’ve never fitted a shower before and the only plumbing my mum has done is to fix a leaky toilet so between us we don’t have much experience and we managed it.
It does what it says on the label.
Easy enough to fit.
The unit cover screws are at the bottom that was a great improvement on our last one which had them on the top !!
If replacing an existing shower NOTE when fitting into exisiting position that as you FACE the shower unit the electric cable entres the unit through the back on the far LEFT. There is a molded box section wall in the unit that means you can not run the cable behind the unit it HAS to entre straight in through the back on the left. The other two TSi 80s it did not matter. So much fun drilling tiles !!!
It does not have a low preasure light or a push on/off button, just goes on a pull cord. We do not use the turn dial as on/off as the dial fitting into the unit is the usual now a days flimsy afair, so less turning the better.
Just a note once installed and put together the turn dials sit proud in a designer type way, you have not put them on wrong.
Good preasure.
It’s really worthwhile looking to buy at ‘half-price’ and invest in ‘next time it dies’ reality. That way you have the same basic template and swapping is a bit of a dawdle.
Also, as for approaching Triton for spares (like I did recently because the slider ‘grip’ began to fail to hold) they can charge about 500% on small things – when equivalents are easily found in the likes of Ebay and even Amazon at a cost of pennies really!
Oh, and when the water starts ‘dribbling’ from the wall unit – go seek out a kit of ‘O’ rings (wee rubber washers) ’cause nine time out of ten – that’s what’s perished and can be very easily replaced.
It took this guy a LONG time to suss out these money-saving ideas.
Having always had Triton showers in the past and having installed at least five over the years I, obviously, decided to replace my dead shower with another Triton. The old unit was about six years old and had failed because the water flow control had started to leak and water had dripped onto the solenoid causing it to fail. This must be a known problem because Triton had put a small sheet of rigid plastic between the water flow ccontrol and the solenoid to act as an umbrella of sorts. It obviously hadn’t worked. A quick look on the Triton website told me that a new solenoid was 36.29. With a brand new shower complete with new shower head, hose etc at only 60 it was a no brainer. Not exactly environmentally friendly though Triton! The equivalent would be a new starter motor on a car costing about four grand.
Took the old unit out and fitted the new one in about twenty minutes. Put the flow control to minimum, turned the power selector to cold………NOTHING, DEAD AS A DODO!!!. To cut a long story short, after much head scratching and several hours I discovered that the switch that sends power to the solenoid was not properly located so the camshaft which is attached to the power control knob was not activating it when turned. Fitted and working now and I am happy again. I’m just glad that I wasn’t paying a trades person to do the job, it would have cost me a fortune.
Once installed, it works very well. We’ve replaced our old Triton with this one and we wanted like for like at a lowest possible price. We’ve got it thanks to this deal on Amazon.
There are however small downside to this model:
1) you have to buy an additional piece of equipment to plug it to main water pipe, which will add about 7 to a final bill. Kind of a disappointment, but understandable as you may have different types of pipes.
2) you will find out that your old long hose and expensive fancy showerhead are no long compatible with it, as its ending is slightly wider (about 1mm) than a standard one. Or maybe a standard has change since last few years???
So you are stuck with what you’ve got – short hose and a normal showerhead. I can survive a simple showerhead, because a new one is OK with its 5 modes (though nothing fancy and quite difficult to distinguish one mode from another!), but short hose really does my headaches… especially when it comes to cleaning our bath tube and filling a smaller one for our baby to get bath.
we were deciding to completely re vamp our bedroom and en-suite but with having a limited budget decided to get the best prices for everything.Having found out the most powerful electric shower we could install was 10.8kw, then searching the net for best deals kept coming back to amazon and this shower.Compared to the next price which is double i could not try it out.
The shower arrived promptly and well packaged with options to install from both sides with water and power, the unit fitted the standard fittings well and seamed well built with a great shower head.The system is a plain clean looking box that doesn’t have bells and whistles but offers a good head of very hot water quickly.
the shower has performed great there’s nicer looking slick showers out there but if you need a good one and don’t want to spend lots then you have found the right item.
if the shower had different finishes like chrome or cream then i would have given five stars but otherwise a fantastic buy, thanks again amazon more money saved.
My grandparents Electric 7 Kw shower stopped working, so since im a electrician i said i could help and fix it. . . . No, the parts needed for the shower turned out to be More expensive than buying a whole new one shower.
So i set out searching for a NEW 7 Kw – 7.5Kw shower. tuned out to be more harder than i thought. couldn’t seem to find one at all.or if i did they were all 150+. plenty of 8.5-10.5 Kw but this would mean up grading the cable feeding the old shower, Meaning alot of work and money my grandparents could do without really.
Then after a few days i just thought, why not try on here (amazon) not thinking they would really.
YES THEY DOOOOO!!!! FANTASTIC
Great price and i know Triton are a quality Make too. delivered to my grandparents house in the middle of the country side too Plumber (My best friend) had to re tile as the old shower had been tiled round it but once that was done fitted it in no time and my grand parents love it.
they can use the controls on it very easy and set it to just how they like it.
ive even had the chance to use it myself after my pipes froze. and i can really recommend it.
Well Happy with it and more importantly so are my grandparents 🙂
This turned out to be a decent choice. I went with a low power shower as it was a direct replacement and I didn’t want to overload my 6mm cable. The water flow is reasonable and it’s okay for me as I don’t want too much water usage.
The case had to be cut with a hacksaw to allow my choice of cable entry (bottom of side right). The box and advert said the cable water pipe entry points but even the booklet doesn’t tell you that you need to carefully saw the plastic away to fit. Considering the previous model I used did have special cut-outs exactly for this purpose it seems that this is not progress at all. I suspect it allows the manufacturer to cut costs but it makes it difficult for the installer.
Overall, a decent purchase for the money especially as I can’t source a 7.5kw shower at any of the main diy outlets.
Since our T70i was 14 years old and used daily it was worth splashing out (sorry) on a new one. My decision was assisted by the fact that Amazon were offering a box-damaged one for 42. Received today on Prime delivery, and true to their word, it was just the box that was damaged, the shower unit is brand new and I was able to register the guarantee. It has taken me around 2 hours to install (half of which was spent undoing the compression joint on the old shower) and we now have a shower again, thank goodness.
Some key points that may be helpful.
a. The old T70i came in 7KW and 8KW variants. If you have the 7KW model, your wiring will probably be 6mm and your breaker 32A. Any replacement more powerful than 7.5KW requires 10mm wiring and 45A breaker. I could see my way to a new breaker, but not new wiring, so had to buy a 7.5KW shower
b. Seville seems to be the only Triton available in low wattage AND this kit is very good value. The shower head bundled with the Seville alone costs 20 to buy separately and is far nicer than our old one. Lower wattage means lower energy bills so don’t hanker after the 8.5KW-10.5KW models. The water flow on our new Seville is fine and hot, it seems a bit better than the T70i, I guess the extra 0.5KW makes a difference.
c. The Seville unit footprint is a good match for the T70i except the top and bottom are curved rather than square, and the lower securing screw needs a new hole in the wall. The upper wall screw and the pipe connection are in the same place. I didn’t even have to cut the mains wire like some other reviewers, was able to loop it and squash down under the cover.
d. I did not try and fit the riser rail bundled with the Seville, from reading other reviews the fixing points might not be an exact match which is a bore. The hose fittings are standard so I was able to use my old riser rail and bracket with the new head, problem solved.
e. You will need a new compression olive for the pipe connector, a wall plug for the new hole, and possibly a new compression nut if you mangle the old one like I did. Everything else in the box.
This is not a trendy shower but it does the job with competence and is fantastic value. Well done Triton for making the old T70i so reliable, and for making the Seville low cost and backward compatible. Well done Amazon for accurate descriptions, excellent value and speedy delivery.
Good luck….
We went up from an 8.5 kW Aqualisa (which cost twice as much incidentally) to this 10.5 kW unit and the difference in the winter is quite significant. The extra power makes the shower quite useable in the winter where the previouse one was underpowered and felt either too cold or did not allow enough flow. I did upgrade the cable back to the consumer unit as well to ensure that it could cope with the extra power.
The unit is simple to use having two hot water setting (full and half) and one cold water setting. There is then a fine te,perature control dial. Even in the depths of winter we used the unit on full power and 6/10 on the fine dial to get the water hot enough. As spring has come and the incoming water has warmed up we have been able to turn the fine setting down to 5 already. I was not sure if the extra 2 kW of power would make enough difference to be able to use it in the winter, but it certainly did. Well worth the hassle of the cable upgrade.
If I was making any criticism it would be of the bracket that holds the head on the wall. Its rather cheap and cheerful and the head falls out of it rather easily. The head itself is of quite good quality and at this price, no complaints really.
The instructions are very good – fitting and setting up are very well described and it all went with no issues at all – at least none with the product. You should ensure that you either have some extra bits available to plumb it in if you are replacing a current shower unit – such as compression rings etc – or that your local hardware store is within easy reach, and open when you fit the shower!
After fitting and doing the comissioning procedure (which they say is important – so follow to the letter or you may have to buy extra bits to remedy possible self-protection items)I jumped under for a shower straight away and found myself having an extended wash – which I think speaks for itself! Excellent item, easy fitting and does the job very nicely, thank you.
My one minor disappointment was the shower head holder, which doesn’t hold the head firmly and it is therefore liable to swing to one side – especially as the hose is not very flexible. This is, however, a very minor issue and it can easily be remedied, if required.
I have the 10.5kw version. Ensure before buying, that your house electricity supply is up to the job, as the 10.5kw model requires a higher capacity system than the lower powered items. You also need to make sure that your supply will provide sufficient water pressure.
Satisfied.
This one seems much better – when set to the same temperature as the old shower, the Seville gives a much stronger/faster flow (and without having to adjust the shower head to use fewer nozzles). Only time will tell how long it lasts – it’s a very simple unit, no internal scale trap or anything that needs cleaning other than the shower head.
Installation was pretty straightforward – fix to the wall, connect water and mains, job done (our old shower was also over 10kW so the existing fuse and wiring was suitable for this one- keep that in mind). We’ve kept the old rail and fittings, as they fit the style of our bathroom better than the ones that come with this shower.
Weirdly, the price of this shower seems to fluctuate quite a bit – I bought it in Nov 2011 for 64.99; a week before that it had been well over 70, and now it’s 69 (Dec 26 2011).
Anyway, after two months of use, I’d say this shower is worth looking at – good performance at a good price.
