The Triton t90si is fed from the tank in your attic.This also feeds the cold water in your bathroom.If you still have cold water in the bathroom tap,it means that there is water in the attic tank so the problem is somewhere else.I believe there is a bleed valve on these showers so maybe that is the problem. It may also be that the pipes are clogged up with dirt or limescale.The water filter may need cleaning. Hope this will help with your thinking on the problem.
I had a brand new Triton Rapide 3 with this issue, we had good water pressure but the light on the front would keep coming on.
I found there was a micro switch located at the front almost dead center of the shower, couldn't miss it when you removed the cover. A plastic arm below this switch is raised when the water pressure increases tripping this switch and allowing the heater to come on.
I found two things wrong with this, one this plastic leaver was thin and bent easily and secondly the switch did no line up overly well with the lever. Easily fixed, I cut an inch off the end of a zip tie or panduit strap, and super-glued it to the top of the lever (not the switch as the glue will probably ruin the micro switch.) 5 minute job later and with the shower back together it works beautifully. My wife will be happy, you wouldn't believe the torrid of curses I got this morning having only replaced the old unit last night.
Probably don't need to say this but, make sure you isolate the power before removing the cover.
It sounds as though the valve is not closing and opening properly. I would have a proffesional come out to have a look. I could also be the control board not working correctly or a combination of both.
hi it sounds as though the thermostat has gone on top of the can assembly, or moreover it has scaled up & the element needs replacing, if thats the case your better off buying a new unit as the cost of the can assembly & the fitting it will be nearly as much, plus witha new unit you'll be getting a 2 yr guarantee?
Just a thought!
