    Hi I'm new to this blog I just bought a triton Enrich 8.5kw to replace my old shower I gave it a go to install myself did everything connected everything up but when I turned it on no water came out , I've checked the water pressure and it's working and checked the power supply that is working fine
    Now I'm just confused and wondering did I receive a faulty shower from screw fix ?

    How did you isolate the water to do the work. Sure it's back on?

    Is there anything I need to do to enable the water supply to come out of the shower like a value or something the shower makes a noise but no water pressure or water coming out just thought I'd ask here before contacting screw fix or calling a plumber I tried to install myself because I'm not working at the moment and haven't gotten any funds to pay for a plumber at the moment I was told it's easy to install but now I've no shower it's doing my head in

    If the shower doesn't work ,you call Triton. They send an engineer ,under warranty,but if it is an installation problem ,as opposed to a faulty shower there is a charge you have to pay .
    Your shower should be fed from the mains cold water supply ,is it ?
    Was your previous shower working or not ?

    Yes until the motor failed that's why I bought a new shower !
    I'm going to have a try again tomorrow and see if I can make it work

    The power is working the light is on the top right and the light comes on there's a buzzing sound but no water comes out !

    Double check your wiring connections inside the unit or possibly fault at remote isolation switch. Ie power is getting to shower unit but not 240v. Refer to Terry’s post no2 above.

    The comment Yes until the motor failed makes me wonder what type of shower you had previously. Was if cold fill only or Hot & Cold water supply? What breaker is in your consumer unit to control your old shower? You might need a power shower and not an electric shower.

    picture of the relevant MCB in the consumer unit and the cable connections in the shower plus the shower isolator switch would be useful please!

    I wonder whether the previous shower was a pumped power shower, not an electric shower.

    Pictures will help us. In your consumer unit there is probably a MCB for the shower. What does it say B6,B32,B16 or what?
