Discuss Positioning of an electric shower pull cord. in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

I think the best solution would be a salamander mains booster fitted to mains water supply just above water stopcock or a replace the shower with a thermostatic electric shower that can cope with the fluctuation in water pressure.
Hi Leesparkykent.

I am also looking to install a Salamander Home boost pump under the kitchen sink cabinet. Need some advise:

Currently next to the kitchen sink cabinet I have the dishwasher and Washing machine which are individually connected to fused spur and socket and I don't have spare fused spur and socket for the pump.
Q: Could an additional spur and socket be installed for the pump via the ring and would it need a minor works certificate or a full Part P compliance certificate. Drawback a lot chasing into the wall etc will be involved.

Q: On the opposite wall, I have a spare fused spur and socket. Could a replace the socket with a flex, run 2.5mm 25A cable, under the kitchen cabinets to behind the sink cabinet and install a socket there. Effectively not altering any circuits, only moving the location of the socket after the spur by about 7m cable extension.
Only about half a meter of cable visible on the wall, rest hidden behind the kitchen cabinets.

The max current rating of the pump is only 1.8 Amps.

What would be the best option?

Thanks a lot.
