Depends on how old it is.

The spares diagram for the Triton T80i shows a cartridge/flag assembly, but it’s telling me “item obsoleteâ€

Most of the Triton showers have a strainer built in to the short inlet pipe where the water supply connects to the inlet valve.

Unfortunately this filter is not accessible without disconnecting the water supply first. Often, the only way to do this is to remove the unit from the wall, turn upside down and look into the inlet.

Of course, this means disconnecting the power supply which should ONLY be attempted by a competent person. Please give serious consideration to this point!
