    7kw electric shower - 4mm2 too risky?

    Hi all, Been a while since I've posted - got a new project to install a small 7kw electric shower. The shower will be about 7 metres from the main fusebox on the upper floor. There seems to be a lot of debate about 4mm2 or 6mm2 wiring. Due to the diameter of the wall conduits, I doubt very...

    Code for a socket next to a salon style sink with moveable shower hose

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...

    What kW shower?

    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.
