how come? I have a powershower with a pump in it at the moment, so a mixer shower even if I get a pump for it should only be the same water output shouldn't it?
Right so the sparky work required to provision a pump is less than it is for an electric shower due to the electric shower needing a new 10mm cable ran from the fusebox. Got you.
Is the one I linked the right type I should be going for? Mixer Showers, Shower Enclosures, Bathroom Supplies
Right I think I've got you here, but
1) when you say possibly putting a small pump next to the cylinder, wouldn't that create a lot of work for a sparky to provide a new feed from my consumer unit?
2) So what would a "normal" shower look like ? something like this?
@ Clink - I read your...
thanks for the reply. The CU is miles away from the shower, so do you reckon your first scenario is less work ? It sounds like I could re-use the electric feed to the current shower to feed a new pump and shower, is that right?
Hi all,
I'm not an electrician but one of your customers doing some research so please go easy on me
I have a traditional (not a combi) boiler, with a hot water tank in my airing cupboard, and a cold water tank in the attic.
I have a power shower which makes a hell of a noise so I'm guessing...
Hi all,
I just plugged in a (apparantly faulty) steamer, and all my plugs went off, but when I went to check out the consumer unit, everything was switched to "on" including both that are labelled "plugs down" and "plugs up"...... except this dial on the left which says "RCD connected circuits"...
what do you think of this one Triton Seville 7.5 kw Electric Shower (White): Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools it's only cheap but has very good reviews, 4.5 Stars over 22 reviews, any thoughts? I have absolutely no idea on these sorry!
thanks for the posts guys, to the guy who asked if I am OK. yes I'm OK thanks it was a bit of a shock! I turned it on on the ceiling, got in the bath and the box on the wall immediately went BOOM! I do recall it was making very odd noises for a week leading up to this. I'm a bit annoyed with...
hi all,
My shower blew up in my face the other day, and after ringing my spark he asked me to buy an 8kW shower and he'd fit it when I have it.
Any particular models or brands you recommend please? TBH I can't see any 8kW ones, just 7.5 or 8.5?!
BTW I've been quoted £60 for fitting...
thanks for those prices, help me a lot. Assuming by "rats nest" you mean all the jumbled wires in my wall panel part of the alarm under the stairs, would you mind me asking why this would need sorting? thanks.
