Is the fan in the shower (zone 1) if so it should be 12 volthey, so im a DIYer and learn most stuff from youtube tutorials. At the moment am doing a bathroom renewal, and want to replace the extractor fan for a stronger one. I've a very basic understanding of house wiring and electricity, however i think i could do something straightforward like replacing an extractor fan, if i know follow the instructions.
My worries are getting the right power rating fan, so could you guys give me some advice on this?
cobblers. a 230V fan is allowed as long as it's IP44 or better. would you insist on a 12V shower unit in zone 1?Is the fan in the shower (zone 1) if so it should be 12 volt

Fair comment never thought of it like thatcobblers. a 230V fan is allowed as long as it's IP44 or better. would you insist on a 12V shower unit in zone 1?
there speaks the prophet of doom^^^^^. .
Makes sense but now you mention it a 12 V shower does sound safecobblers. a 230V fan is allowed as long as it's IP44 or better. would you insist on a 12V shower unit in zone 1?
try heating the water with 12V. the amperage would be around 800A. some serious cable size there.Makes sense but now you mention it a 12 V shower does sound safe

hi, thanks for the useful info, but i'm interested in getting a manual fan with a higher flow rate. my bathroom has no window and people take long showers, the current fan almost never speeds up and i have to remove the front plate cover every time just to temporarily increase the speed.
the heater was removed and will be replaced.don't give up the day job as that video clip shows nothing.
back to my original post - have you checked the "output" from the vent outside?
Also if you don't have any heating is a shower room the steam will be worse...........
i'll try cleaning out the vent/duct and the outside cover, before replacing fanthe very LAST THING that shower room needs is a manual fan.
Higher through put and longer timer ......
before replacing fan
it works, but i'd rather a replace it with a higher power oneIs the 'old' fan broken (not working)?
