Triton AS2000SR DuElec® Silent Running Thermostatic Dual Head Power Shower White

I refitted my bathroom in the noughties, don't remember when exactly but it would have been 2004/2005. I opted for the predecessor of the predecessor of the AS200SR and it gave us many years of good service. In 2019 it finally started to underperform so we opted to replace it with the AS2000XT, which was troublesome from the start. I noticed the difference in noise levels and how difficult it was to maintain a constant temperature. Although still under warranty, we had this thing called Covid, so point-to-point servicing was always going to be difficult and as such, I ignored the problem until this year when it was clear that, somehow, Triton had produced a model which was not fit for purpose. I have thought about contacting Triton regarding this issue but at circa £200, it is an affordable model, even as a replacement. I decide to replace it with the AS2000SR because it was a retrofit model and wouldn't involve a lot of destructive plumbing work and I have to say that the results have been mind-blowing. This model, as Triton claim, is silent running. You can also have a shower from one day to the next without altering the temperature settings. If I have any cons it would be to say that the drilling holes are not the same, it's not a complete retrofit and the unit is slightly larger overall than its predecessor so unless you have sufficient clearance from any adjacent walls it may cause a problem but other than that, as a professional kitchen and bathroom installer this is the best thermostatic shower I have ever instaled, and I get to prove it's worth every day!

Just like one of the previous reviews, I purchased this power shower to replace an existing Triton AS2000XT that was starting to show it's age by making more noise that a sherman tank that even wild dogs would run away from, and the temperature control being more erratic than a moth around a light bulb. So after reading many reviews I opted for the AS2000SR to replace it as we live in a bungalow with very low pressure on our hot system and it seemed to be the wise thing to do. I'm not disappointed in the slightest, it was a doddle to fit as the water intake pipes and mains connections matched the old shower, the only thing I had to do was drill 4 new holes in the tiled wall. I agree that it doesn't seem as powerful as the old XT version but that may be an illusion as it's near silent. I have changed the spray head to one that has the little ceramic balls in and that's improved the feel of pressure so much so that it doesn't need to be on full power all the time. To sum up, if you're in need of a replacement power shower at a very reasonable price I don't think you can go wrong with this unit and the speed of service from Plumbworld is excellent.

This was purchased to replace my broken Triton AS2000XT. As promoted, the plumbing and electrical connections are located in the same place, so swapping over between models was straight forward. The footprint is slightly bigger on the SR model, and new mounting holes needed to be drilled, but a capable DIY'er will have no issues. The best thing with the SR model is how it is so much quieter than the old XT. You can barely hear it running. Water pressure output is on par with the old XT. If I have one criticism of the SR model, it is the design of the control knobs. Triton have gone for a more minimalist design. so the knobs are flat with smooth edges. With wet hands, changing the flow or temperature can be a challenge as you cannot always get a good grip on them. Plumbworld were very competitive on price and the shower was delivered within days of order. Yet another satisfied purchase from them.

I had an earlier version of this shower which developed a fault and kept tripping the electric. It lasted about 5 years of twice or more daily use. This one is a little larger in size, but I like the changes they've made to the design, especially with regards to fitting. It's now much easier to get the pipework slotted in as the back of the shower (the bit that faces the wall) essentially has the top right quarter cut away. It's in its operation that it impresses me most. This shower is so quiet! It also has a dial on the front to adjust the speed of the pump, which also serves to reduce its volume. That said, it is so quiet that you barely hear it outside of the bathroom. We have a relatively new build, so hollow partition walls everywhere. The old one reverberated around the entire house. This one you can barely hear in the room next-door.

Needed a replacement power shower as our previous Galaxy power shower eventually failed. The Triton seemed the best replacement type for size and to meet our existing gravity fed H & C supply. The existing pipework meant the internal connections had to be swivelled through 180 and the orginal pipework can just be seen outside of the outer casing of the new Triton shower but is hardly noticeable. The new Triton is extremely quiet compared to the old shower, which leading up to it's failure got very noisy. Good delivery of water and pressure from the Triton. The safety temperature dial at the click position is a bit too cool for my preference but is easily set by pressing the safety button and turning the selector dial nearer to the hot setting. Maybe the fixed setting is low? - possibly between 30 - 35. I'm happy to recommend this shower though.
