We have a Triton T100xr shower that has been giving us problems with the low pressure light coming on and it suddenly running cold. I believe replacing the solenoid valve is one solution, but before doing that I thought I would carry out the recommended checks. Water pressure for us is not a problem so I looked at the inlet filter, this proved to be absolutely clean and there was no other detritus in the housing. What I did notice was that the filter was detached from the housing cover and had to be poked out the housing itself. On reassembly I relocated the filter in the covering cap before screwing it back in. Since then we have had no further low pressure problems for several weeks compared to several a week before the check.

This to me seems too coincidental so I was wondering if anybody with more expertise on the subject thinks that the filter loose in its housing could cause pressure fluctuations enough to trip out the shower or is it just a flukey no cost fix on our shower?
