Step-by-step troubleshooting

1. Check Power Supply
   Do: Verify the circuit breaker for the Triton T80 is on and the power indicator light is active.
   Observe: Power indicator is on.
   Means: Power is reaching the unit.
   Next: Test water temperature settings.
2. Test Water Temperature Settings
   Do: Adjust the temperature control on the shower to the hottest setting and wait 30 seconds.
   Observe: Water remains cold.
   Means: Issue is likely with heating components.
   Next: Inspect heating elements.
3. Inspect Heating Elements
   Do: Use a multimeter to test the heating elements for continuity. Check for visible damage or corrosion.
   Observe: No continuity or damaged elements found.
   Means: Heating elements are faulty.
   Next: Replace heating elements.
4. Check Thermostat Function
   Do: Test the thermostat using a thermostat test tool to ensure it's activating the heating elements properly.
   Observe: Thermostat does not activate heating elements.
   Means: Thermostat is malfunctioning.
   Next: Replace thermostat.
5. Verify Water Flow
   Do: Check for blockages in the water inlet filter and ensure water pressure is adequate.
   Observe: Low water pressure or clogged filter.
   Means: Poor water flow affects heating performance.
   Next: Clean or replace filter and adjust water pressure.
6. Reset the System
   Do: Perform a system reset by turning off the power for 1 minute, then restoring it.
   Observe: System resets and begins heating.
   Means: Temporary glitch was causing the issue.
   Next: Monitor operation for 24 hours.
