Hi,
I am upgrading one of the electric showers in my house from 8.5kW to 10.8kW and I want to check weather a higher rated RCD should be installed.
I currently have 2x 8.5kW showers, both connected with 10mm^2 cable and 40A MCB's and a single 80A/30mA Contactum RCD (B8003/2) in my Contactum...
I went to a property today to do a repair in a bathroom for a letting agent, upon entry noticed the shower cubicle had an electric shower fitted very low down, instead of the riser rail being above it, it was on the wall next to it so when the tenant ran the shower it would spray all over the...

Hi i'm after some advice, i've been asked to quote for a rewire in a care home which has a single phase supply, they have requested 5x 8.5kw showers to be installed
can you apply diversity to electric showers and is there a device which allows only 1 shower to be working at one time?
I have...
Hi all,
I'm sure this has been asked before but.... I'm just about to buy an electric shower for the annexe, water pressure is just over 1 bar, the question is, is there much difference between the 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 kW showers in terms of temperature if your water flow is average.
Thanks for...
Hi all! I am from the plumbing forum, but thought I would ask if anyone has seen this before? I had a quick look at a Redring 9.5 expressions shower that had totally stopped, yesterday. Then the owner said it starts & pulses when his wife uses a hand blender in the kitchen! Couldn't believe it...
Is it possible to have 3 electric showers of about 9 to 10kw each on one house hold property if you install a contactor which will only allow one or two on at once?
About to do a consumer unit change and noticed that the 100a supply is feeding two electric showers. Clients say that the showers are not used simultaneously but may well be in the future. Does anyone know where to buy a 'non priority interlock' so that I can do this job properly and avoid any...

Hello all,
Recently tested some office accomadation units for a building site (the type that come as individual bays with own db and then get bolted together to form an open plan office and all db's for each bay run back to a main db for each floor). One area had four showers supplied from...
Hello folks, I'm after a power shower to replace a broken one but I've never dealt with them before and haven't got a clue where to start. I'm after something that is run from an external 12 or 24v transformer preferably, do they still make them like this as I can only seem to find mains ones...
Is there any point notifying like-for-like showers. I have been notifying trhem up until now, but someone said something today which has made me think twice...
Anyone else notify like-for-likes?
It's been mentioned on here, though I don't know if it's a bit tounge-in-cheek, that showers can be divided by 240v when rating. Is this true? And if so, how come?
Does anyone know if any 9kW showers actually exist other than the Mira bloody Sport?! I'm really after a 9kW shower for about the £100 mark or less. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers.
I have been a plumber for a good number of years in Brighton and Hove and would replace rather than repair. I asked electricians and searched but no one in our area seemed to repair electric showers.
Now that I have become a domestic electrician (qualified etc) I am looking to do repairs.
Is...
