Installation Information
10
The installation MUST BE carried out in accordance with these instructions,
and MUST BE undertaken by a qualified competent person.
The Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit may be installed in a loft space, in a convenient cupboard or in
the shower with the Xerophyte Vanity cove (sold separately), provided there is enough room for
maintenance. Safe and easy access to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit should be available at all
times.
When planning the installation, if you are using the wired connectivity ensure that the distance
between the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit and Triton Xerophyte Control Unit is within the
recommended range of the 10-metre data cable supplied, ensuring that the data cable routing
is taken into consideration.
Ensure that the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit is installed in a position that will minimise the
length of pipe running between the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit outlet and the
showerhead/accessory fittings. The length of pipework from the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit to
the outlet fitting MUST NOT exceed 5m.
The length of pipework running from the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit to the
showerhead/accessory fittings will affect the showering temperature and the response time
when changing the showering temperature on the Triton Xerophyte Control Unit. The shorter
the length of pipework the better the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit functioning, improving its
water-saving efficiency and enhancing the shower experience
When installing the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit in an area not regularly accessed, consideration
for potential leaks MUST be taken into account. While such events are unlikely, it is advisable to
periodically check the installation for traces of water on or around the Triton Xerophyte Mixer
Unit. If possible install or position the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit in a location where any leak
would be contained or routed to avoid areas sensitive to water damage.
Isolation valves are integrated into the push-fit connection fittings supplied for the hot & cold
inlets, ensure that after installation these valves are left in the fully open position as failure to do
this will result in poor flow and circulation performance and extended warmup time from the
Triton Xerophyte Shower Mixer.
The Mixer Unit MUST NOT be positioned where it will be subjected to freezing or overheating
conditions ( > 40 °C ). Water-saving efficiency might be influenced if installation is in an area
where cold water temperature exceeds 29 degrees. In such installation, the circulation
threshold can be adjusted to 32 degrees in the “Circulation Temperature Threshold” settings.
All pipework MUST be rigidly supported to avoid any strain on the connections and vibrations
during use. Long inlet pipework (dead-legs) should be kept to a minimum to avoid showering
temperature fluctuations. The pipework should be installed such that the flow is not
significantly affected by other taps and appliances being operated elsewhere on the premises.
DO NOT connect the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit to a gravity hot supply and a mains cold
supply (or vice versa).
There are no user-serviceable components beneath the cover of the Triton Xerophyte Mixer
Unit.
