    Email from customer about shower pump

    This could be interesting. Any thoughts/predictions: I have a pump operated shower – in the past year the pump has been replaced 3 times as it stopped working – but the plumber is at a loss to the problem and said it must be something to do with the electrics? This makes sense, because if I go...

    Hi All, We have just had an electrical test done and have been told that our 8.5kW shower is too powerful for the 6mm cable. We have been told it should be replaced with a 7.5kW maximum. I was under the impression and stand to be corrected that an 8.5kw would be fine for that cable as long as...
