[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 298146, member: 250"] Swith is faulty IMHO.. also... Despite what some of my learned colleagues say above... I would check with your shower manufactures instructions.. Some manufactures specifically say the shower must be switched off by the isolator switch when not in use.. e.g. bottom of page 18.. [URL="http://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/media/1452505/t80z%20fast%20fit.pdf"]http://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/media/1452505/t80z%20fast%20fit.pdf[/URL] or [ATTACH]3297._xfImport[/ATTACH] Also.. If a shower cord pull switch is faulty it is 95%+ chance it is a square one... During your titanic battle to cram everything in you probably damage some of the internals of the swicth.. and/or cause the connections to become a bit lose which will cause overheating issues at a later time.. You need to bin the square switch and fit one of these.. [URL="http://www.screwfix.com/p/crabtree-50a-pullcord-sw-neon/90597"]http://www.screwfix.com/p/crabtree-50a-pullcord-sw-neon/90597[/URL] Unlike other electrical appliances where if the integral on off switch failed may just turn something on and consume a bit of electricity.. If an internal micro switch failed on the shower.. it could also start chucking water out of the shower head!! If isolated at the cord pull this cannot happen... [/QUOTE]
