Mine runs off my bath tap so not a problem but thanks for the heads up.

Re: What have you just bought?
Our electric shower packed in around 6 months ago, research online led me to a Triton that fitted the existing pipework and electrics, so grabbed that and fitted it.
Still working well with no issues.

Re: What have you just bought?
Are you allowed to? Don't you need to be certified to mess around with electrics?

Did the same thing when my shower packed in. Just get exactly the same model and the electrics/water,/wall fixing are already in the right place and just need connecting. . Doddle. Getting someone out to do it would cost more than the shower itself.

It isnt hard, just the nanny state again.
My Dad qualified as an electrician and taught me about home electrics.
I did all my home electrics over the years, even replacing my old main switch box (some 25 years ago now).
The last thing I did was some extra sockets about five years ago, these days I tend to just use multi socket extensions.
Thats probably less safe TBH, but thats the result of nannying for you.
