[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 487618, member: 1607"] Basic rules of life you need to be aware of; 1/ Plumbers are normally good at keeping liquid in pipes and making toilet waste flow downhill to a big drain. 2/ Occasionally plumbers can connect a permanent supply 'Live-Neutral-Earth' onto a component providing it is clearly labelled up. e.g. "terminal 1=Live(brown), 2=Earth(green/yellow0, 3=Neutral(blue)" 3/ Any items activated by timers, thermostats, motorised valves, I-phone Apps, economy-7, etc. involving switched-live control wires will more often than not completely confuse 95%+ of plumbers. 4/ Fault finding done by plumbers on any electrical control problem, on an existing installation will typically be "keep randomly replacing bits till it works". (Diagnostics and testing are a concept plumbers very rarely grasp) I would get the whole of your system tested by a suitably qualified and competent electrician, as I would never trust ANY electrical diagnosis done by a plumber. [This is based upon many years of first-hand experience seeing how the majority of plumbers approach electrical problems]. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
