Triton Showers MOSV07SG Seville Universal Electric Shower, 7.5 KW

Amazing how much you learn when you research a purchase on Amazon - so this review is an attempt to give back so to speak. We had an old Triton T70i shower which suddenly stopped passing water (sorry) and some online research identified that this was probably a failed solenoid, £15 to replace on the auction site that shall remain nameless. Or I could buy the Seville for £52. Since our T70i was 14 years old and used daily it was worth splashing out (sorry) on a new one. My decision was assisted by the fact that Amazon were offering a box-damaged one for £42. Received today on Prime delivery, and true to their word, it was just the box that was damaged, the shower unit is brand new and I was able to register the guarantee. It has taken me around 2 hours to install (half of which was spent undoing the compression joint on the old shower) and we now have a shower again, thank goodness. Some key points that may be helpful. a. The old T70i came in 7KW and 8KW variants. If you have the 7KW model, your wiring will probably be 6mm and your breaker 32A. Any replacement more powerful than 7.5KW requires 10mm wiring and 45A breaker. I could see my way to a new breaker, but not new wiring, so had to buy a 7.5KW shower b. Seville seems to be the only Triton available in low wattage AND this kit is very good value. The shower head bundled with the Seville alone costs £20 to buy separately and is far nicer than our old one. Lower wattage means lower energy bills so don't hanker after the 8.5KW-10.5KW models. The water flow on our new Seville is fine and hot, it seems a bit better than the T70i, I guess the extra 0.5KW makes a difference. c. The Seville unit footprint is a good match for the T70i except the top and bottom are curved rather than square, and the lower securing screw needs a new hole in the wall. The upper wall screw and the pipe connection are in the same place. I didn't even have to cut the mains wire like some other reviewers, was able to loop it and squash down under the cover. d. I did not try and fit the riser rail bundled with the Seville, from reading other reviews the fixing points might not be an exact match which is a bore. The hose fittings are standard so I was able to use my old riser rail and bracket with the new head, problem solved. e. You will need a new compression olive for the pipe connector, a wall plug for the new hole, and possibly a new compression nut if you mangle the old one like I did. Everything else in the box. This is not a trendy shower but it does the job with competence and is fantastic value. Well done Triton for making the old T70i so reliable, and for making the Seville low cost and backward compatible. Well done Amazon for accurate descriptions, excellent value and speedy delivery. Good luck....

This was bought as a replacment for our old Triton T80si shower which finally broke after many years. We did have a look to see if it would have been possible to repair, but after looking online at the cost of replacement parts, it didn't seem worth paying £50 for parts that might not have been correct. Like other reviewers, because of the cabling we had to have a 7.5kW shower and not many places seem to sell them now. Even buying from Triton direct they had very little choice in 7.5kW and they were more expensive than the Seville. The free Amazon Prime trial meant we got free next day delivery too. It took my mum and I about 2 and a half hours to fit, and the most diffcult part was probably taking off the old shower. It turned out we were trying to unscrew the nut on the water inlet pipe the wrong way! Luckily we could use the old screw holes from the previous shower unit, so there was no need to drill any extra holes. We kept the old riser rail so we didn't have to drill any holes for that either. The box included rawl plugs and screws for the riser rail but not for the shower unit, but as we didn't need to drill any extra holes for the shower unit this was ok, we just reused the old screws. If you're drilling new holes you'll need rawl plugs and possibly screws. You will also need a new nut and olive for the water inlet pipe, which we got from our local plumbers merchant. After securing the new unit to the wall and turning on the water to test for leaks, we turned the power back on. The fitting instructions said to make sure the controls were aligned, which we discovered meant the on/off control needed to be in the 'stop' position on both the front cover and on the unit. When we turned the power back on, the shower came on straight away as the unit control was 'on', we had to turn it off and change the button on the unit. The fitting videos on the Triton website (http://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/triton-for-the-homeowner/triton-products/product-videos.aspx) came in useful for making sure we were doing everything in the correct order. The videos aren't specifically about the Seville but the basic steps are the same. The shower head supplied with the Seville is definitely an improvement on our old one, it's lighter and has five different flow settings. The shower itself is good, and very similar to the old Triton shower it replaced. If anyone is unsure about fitting it themselves, I'd say give it a go, it was easier and quicker than we thought it would be. I've never fitted a shower before and the only plumbing my mum has done is to fix a leaky toilet so between us we don't have much experience and we managed it.

Very good value. Easy to adjust heat control. Easy to use and seems durable. The only complaint is the shower head spray pattern isn't on mine as advertised. It should be and I have emailed Triton but they have not responded!

Great value shower. This was a direct replacement for my Bristan Joy. Just needed 1 x 15mm coupler. My Bristan Joys input was on the right hand side. Plenty of room for routing cable and pipe inside. Lets hope it lasts longer that the year and half the bristan joy had. I kept my old rail and shower head. The rise on this one looks a bit cheap but the shower works well. Ease of installation: Very easy took 30 minutes.

My grandparents Electric 7 Kw shower stopped working, so since im a electrician i said i could help and fix it. . . . No, the parts needed for the shower turned out to be More expensive than buying a whole new one shower. So i set out searching for a NEW 7 Kw - 7.5Kw shower. tuned out to be more harder than i thought. couldn't seem to find one at all.or if i did they were all £150+. plenty of 8.5-10.5 Kw but this would mean up grading the cable feeding the old shower, Meaning alot of work and money my grandparents could do without really. Then after a few days i just thought, why not try on here (amazon) not thinking they would really. YES THEY DOOOOO!!!! FANTASTIC Great price and i know Triton are a quality Make too. delivered to my grandparents house in the middle of the country side too Plumber (My best friend) had to re tile as the old shower had been tiled round it but once that was done fitted it in no time and my grand parents love it. they can use the controls on it very easy and set it to just how they like it. ive even had the chance to use it myself after my pipes froze. and i can really recommend it. Well Happy with it and more importantly so are my grandparents :)

I bought this shower to replace an old 7.2Kw system when I had my bathroom refitted. A 7.5Kw system was the maximum I could have not only because I didn't want to replace the old electrical wiring but also because my meter is only 80amps and that has to power my cottage and the various outbuildings on my smallholding. I did quite a bit of research whilst looking for a replacement and the mainly positive reviews helped to decide on this model. The excellent price was the final deciding factor. I chose first class delivery and it was delivered 24 hours after I placed my order. I am very pleased with it so far. It produces plenty of hot water (more than the previous shower) and looks nice too. Assuming it continues to perform better than the old shower (which was 15 years old), I shall continue to be delighted with it. If you are looking for a replacement for a 7.2-7.5Kw shower then I can happily recommend the Triton Seville.

Do not buy was delivered faulty spent money on it being installed and it leaked. Amazon were helpful product is awful

Good brand. Reasonably priced.
