    Electrical Water Pump Fuse Keeps Blowing....

    OK, sounds like an EICR is a good thing to have regardless of whether its a legal requirement of selling or not if only to check for any faults. Yes we have a flat. We are ground floor. It's really quite a small, 1 bedroom (hence moving). The 'digital' meter is accessible in my hallway.

    Electrical Water Pump Fuse Keeps Blowing....

    Hi, sorry for my lack of details in original post. I don't believe it pumps water out as draining water away has never triggered any use of the pump. It is used when we use any hot water (including the shower) or the toilet refills The pump is called a 'Monsoon N3.0 Bar Twin'. The wattage input...

Within a storage cupboard in my hallway, I have the water tank, boiler, pump, the pump is wired to a fuse socket on the wall, which up until now has housed a 5 amp fuse. My fuse box...
