My spark wants me to find an 8kW shower, any ideas?

[cable_guy]

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, do you think this sounds reasonable please?

 

[cable_guy]

ahh yes I see, thanks! Dimlpex Designa any good ?

 

[cable_guy]

very good telectrix

 

[RWJ]

Even cheaper and a good supplier as well

8.5KW WHITE ELECTRIC SHOWER - Designa - AllAboutElectrics.co.uk

Would highly recommend the Designa showers... The're made buy Dimplex

Bit confused why there is such a flap over 8kw and 8.5kw Both are too big for a 32 amp MCB and unless we are working with an MCB with the ranges 34-37 amps most likely the size will be 40amp

So have you a 32 amp MCB and if so you can only go with a 7.5kw.

b&q do a 10litre watering can for £2.99. swivel mount, pull cord to tip, saves the £60 electrician's fee.

They will give you free technical advise on how to install............
