[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 6376, member: 250"] Ahh but the thread would of been a lot more boring without that little mental deviation into photo's in the shower... :o :O:O It may be that the current setup is no worse than any other average DIY shower set up... But if you say there is no RCD in circuit.... which most manufactures recommend to be installed... Then it is not as safe as it could be with full RCD protection! It is a hard call to make without any pictures or test readings.. but the old saying 'If in doubt don't' often rings true. With the obvious increased power consumption of a shower, the risks can be proportionally higher than other average circuits? screw terminal correctly tightened can often be a problem area for overheating with showers? and DIY bobs have a habit of not correctly tightening screws! :| [/QUOTE]
