[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 483605, member: 1607"] A word or caution, I wouldn't go just fitting a new switch without a thorough test of the whole circuit integrity of the cables. Continuity, insulation resistance, Zs RCD operating times etc.. Your symptoms are very common with domestic electric showers, especially if installed by DIY without any standard testing recommended by the wiring regulations. get it wrong and their is risk of fire or fatal shock. And as electricity can kill a healthy adult in less than half a second, it is not good practice to be standing in a jet of water from and untested electrical appliance/circuit. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
