No hot water comes out of the showerhead of my Triton 200re.
I have checked the 2 elements in the power pack with an ohmmeter and resistance is 14.2 & 14.3 which means good.
I have checked the TCO for continuity and that is good.I
observed that the low pressure light is on even though the water is coming out with force as I have an inline exterior pump connected to the shower.
I have cleaned all the limescale from the valve in the control panel but still no hot water. Why?
It seems trhat the pressure switch was stuck. I put a flat head screwdriver between the stabilizer valve assembly and the cartridge assembly and applied light upward pressure and heard a click sounding like a microswitch.
I turned the shower and pump on and HEY PRESTO! hot water is now coming from the showerhead and the low pressure light is now OFF.
I hope this info will help many others.

The water has to pass through the heater and outlet pipe to showerhead.
The low pressure light is always on but the pressure from the showerhead is reasonably high. as there is an in-line pump installed.
All wires are in correct place. Heater elements have good rsistance.Thermal Cut Out is continuos.
Have a gut feeling something to do with pressure switch but looks complicated to check or dismantle.
