Similarly one may ask, why does my electric shower keep cutting off?
This is it, the most common fault with electric showers - the solenoid valve. If you find the shower stops working completely, or indeed cuts off (very often when you have soap in your hair) this is the culprit. The coil (when working) lifts a plunger inside the solenoid valve and allows the water into the shower.
Furthermore, is there a reset button on a Triton shower? Once you have drilled the hole push a small nail or pin into the hole and push down until you hear and feel a click. This is the strip being pushed down and reset.

Most likely to be excessive limescale build up inside the heating canister that's causing the overheat cut-out to operate. this then cools and turns electricity back on to element for a while before heat build up again and it cuts out.
