Replacing a Triton Enlight 2

[Matt]

Hi I'm an electrician more use to testing power to showers then replacing them. My Enlight 2 has stopped working after 3 years it is now only hot when on 10 so assume 1 of the elements have gone. Shower is mounted on water proof shower board I want to use existing cut outs. Looks like Enlight is no longer sold. Can any one recommend shower that will easily replace it or should I just change parts? Cheers for any advise.

Where are the electric and water connectors on the shower. Can you take a picture?

It will depend on your shower footprint. If you still want a Triton T80Z has multi entry points for wiring and plumbing.

Often cheaper to replace the shower than get spare parts Screwfix have some great triton shower prices.

I have seen they do an 8.5Kwand 9.5Kw replacement for about £50 which I think was the cost of the shower I am considering this if a replacement shower won't fit the holes in the shower board. Thank you

That is my thought but also weighing up maintaining the integrity of the board behind it so would like to find something that fits the existing holes. Cheers

As long as the new footprint is roughly the same size. You could silicone the other holes if not exact. Don't forget you already have holes for the wire and supply.

The pictures you posted look like the Mira jump.

Thank you just looked at the PDFs for the Mira Jump and looks like the holes for water inlet and electrical supply I currently have should match perfectly.

All good then.

I think I will either fit a Mira Jump or change the element. Not much difference in price. which is the easier of the 2 jobs. might be naive as haven't done either before but I think I am capable any pitfalls to watch out for. Obviously isolate supply and water and give it a go cross my fingers.
