Triton power showers
Triton is a household name in British showers, and while it is best known for electric showers, it also makes pumped power showers for homes with low, gravity-fed water pressure. That dual reputation is exactly why people get confused, so this page does two jobs: it shows the Triton power shower range, and it helps you check that a power shower, rather than a Triton electric shower, is the right type for your home. Get the system question right first, then choose your model, and you will not end up with the wrong type on the wall.
The Triton power shower range
Triton's power showers are plumbed-in, pumped units for gravity-fed systems, with manual and thermostatic controls.
Thermostatic models hold a steady temperature even when water is used elsewhere and include a maximum-temperature stop for safety, while manual models let you set the flow and temperature by hand. You will find single fixed heads and dual-outlet versions with a handset, in finishes including white, chrome and black. Check the current range above this description for what is in stock, and confirm any specification such as flow rate on the product page.
Triton has a long track record in British bathrooms, so its power showers are a dependable choice where your system suits one. If you are replacing an older Triton, matching the control type and the finish helps the new unit feel familiar and fit the same space. As with any brand, the model and its specification on the product page are the figures to trust, rather than a general guide.
Power shower or Triton electric shower?
This is the one to settle before you buy, because Triton makes both and they suit different homes. A Triton power shower mixes your stored hot and cold water and pumps it, so it needs a gravity-fed system with a tank and cylinder. A Triton electric shower heats cold mains water on demand, needs only a cold feed, and works on most systems including combi and mains. If your home is gravity-fed and the shower is weak, you want a power shower; if you have a combi or mains supply, a Triton electric shower is the answer.

Will a Triton suit your system?
A Triton power shower needs a gravity-fed system: a cold-water tank, usually in the loft, and a hot-water cylinder. The pump boosts that stored water to a forceful flow. On a combi boiler or high-pressure mains a power shower is usually not suitable, because you already have pressure. For temperature stability on a gravity-fed system, a thermostatic Triton is the safer choice in a family bathroom, holding the heat steady and capping the maximum to reduce the risk of scalding.
For the steady-temperature option across brands, see thermostatic power showers or check your system on the power showers hub.
Triton power shower FAQs
Does Triton make power showers and electric showers?
Yes. Triton is best known for electric showers but also offers pumped (power) options. They suit different water systems, so check whether you need power, electric or mixer. See power shower vs electric shower (linking when live).
Will a Triton power shower work with a combi boiler?
Usually not. Power showers need a gravity-fed system with stored hot water. On a combi, a Triton electric shower or mixer shower is the right choice.
Are Triton power showers thermostatic?
Some are. Thermostatic models hold your set temperature steady and include a maximum-temperature stop, which is worth having in a family bathroom. Manual models let you balance the temperature yourself. Check each product for which controls it has.
Do I need an electrician for a Triton power shower?
Yes, for the pump's electrical connection, which a qualified electrician should make to meet bathroom wiring regulations. The load is far lower than a Triton electric shower, so there is no high-amp circuit, but the connection still needs to be done safely.
