Product Information

Full details

The Triton Jade 4 is designed for homeowners seeking a customizable and luxurious shower experience. Its key benefit is the dual shower functionality with separate controls, allowing for personalized temperature and power settings, along with a 'set and forget' start/stop button. A potential caveat is the need for compatible electrical wiring to support its 9.5kW power rating. This electric shower features separate temperature and power control dials, a standalone start/stop switch, and an easy-clean, three-spray pattern shower head. It also includes the Triton DuoSwitch Dual Rainshower Shower Kit, offering a choice between a multi-mode handheld shower head and a fixed rain shower head, both adjustable for comfort, along with integrated shelving.

FAQs

What is the power rating of this shower?

This is a 9.5kW electric shower, requiring a suitable electrical supply.

Do I need a special electrician to install this?

Yes, due to the high power rating, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Can I switch between the handheld and fixed shower heads easily?

Yes, the Triton DuoSwitch system allows for effortless switching between the two shower outlets.

How do I clean the shower head?

The shower head is a rub-clean type. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to remove limescale and ensure optimal spray patterns.

What is the warranty period for the Triton Jade 4?

The Triton Jade 4 comes with a 2-year parts and labour guarantee.

Does this shower boost water pressure?

No, this is an electric shower that heats water on demand. It relies on your home's existing mains water pressure; it does not boost it.

What do the power and temperature dials control?

The temperature dial controls the water temperature, while the power dial controls the flow rate (and thus the intensity of the heat).

Troubleshooting

Shower is not heating or producing hot water.

Check the power supply and ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the temperature and power settings are correctly adjusted. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault, and professional inspection is required.

Water flow is weak or intermittent.

Ensure the mains water supply is on and at adequate pressure. Check the shower head for limescale build-up and clean the nozzles. Inspect the inlet hose and filters for any blockages. The low pressure indicator light should be off for optimal operation.

The start/stop button is not retaining previous settings.

Confirm that the shower has been switched off using the start/stop button, not by turning off the power supply at the isolation switch. Ensure the settings were properly adjusted before the last use.

Leaking from the shower head or unit.

Check all connections, particularly where the hose attaches to the unit and the handset. Ensure seals are properly seated and not damaged. If leaking from the unit itself, professional assessment is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Triton Jade 4 requires a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate gauge wiring to safely support its 9.5kW power rating. It is strongly recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards and building regulations. Ensure your home's water pressure is adequate for the unit to function correctly; a low pressure indicator is included.

Compatibility:

This electric shower is designed for mains cold water supply. It is compatible with most plumbing systems. The included DuoSwitch shower kit ensures compatibility with the shower unit's controls.

Care:

To maintain the performance and appearance of your Triton Jade 4, regular cleaning is advised. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the unit and shower head. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the rub-clean shower head, gently rub the nozzles to dislodge any limescale build-up. Periodically check the shower head for any blockages.
