I've asked my boss this question and even he isn't sure LOL
Anyway, is it still legal to spur off a lighting circuit to run a shower pump?
The pump itself will draw no more than 1.9A, so my plan (because it's easy) is to connect the booster pump to an RCD protected spur fitted with a 3A fuse, which is subsequently fed from the downstairs lighting circuit (non RCD protected).
Getting a feed from the CU, or stabbing in to a ring isn't really feasible.
Anybody see any problems with that from a legal standpoint?
PS
The spur itself is going to be situated in the master bedroom, as that is the other side of the stud wall which seperates the bathroom.
