Topic : FOR SALE ELECTRIC SHOWER 2 |
|

£50 no offers 9.5kW Instantaneous Electric Shower - NEW. The box was never opened because we changed our mind and installed a power shower. Ring 01535 655441 (email at the bottom of the page)   |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I think 9.5kW is too powerful. How do I find out if it is suitable? I have a 40watt fuse but I thought electric wire has to be 10mm |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) It should be installed by a qualified electrician. It is the equivalent to 3 electric kettles, what you need if you want a fairly powerful hot shower rather than a pathetic cold dribble. It would need the same sort of electrical installation as a cooker.... I think, but I'm not an electrician. Just read the information on the box... The shower should be permanently connected to the electricity supply through a double pole linked switch with a minimum break capacity of 40 amp. Cable size - 6mm^2 (for most installations). For some it may be necessary to use 10mm^2 cable. |

this post has been edited 4 time(s) They do need the same supply as a cooker which means a lead directly from the fuse board. It is now 'illegal' to DIY most electrics. Another example of over zealous PC and jobs for the boys. It cost electricians at least £200 to get qualified. However, all the parts and wire are readily available for you to give to your qualified electricians and a nod is as good as a wink to a blind '  ' horse.(all the editing was to get smiley right) |

I would say 10mm cable but you wouldnt want less than 9kw or in cold weather like we had recently you have slow the water to a trickle to get it hot |

I currently have a Gainsborough ES 500 shower which is rubbish. Can anyone tell me what size electric wire this would run off? Is it 10mm. If so could I upgrade to a 8.5 or 9kW shower without the cost of re-wiring? |
