Hi again, as the OP I just want to say thanks to those who helped my understanding of the fault. This info allowed me to easily track down the fault and fix it. I will scan the forums gleening info until I am confident of the most likely cause of a problem, being plumbing, roofing...

Have to agree 8 bar sounds great, but what is the flow rate? You need to know like John said. Si.

Ban-all-sheds I came across this today and wondered what you thought... The photos were how I found this switch feeding a swa feed to a distant garage. Switch in loft near hatch. I was fixing a leaky roof ... :wink:

Thanks bernardgreen Its much nicer when someone is helpful :D Is it really that simple?...the way the rcd works? Makes perfect sense now why the shower load was causing the lighting fault to trip the rcd. Thanks again Si.

No, I would have done a far worse job, than a "qualified" spark I'm sure :roll: PS. I know what u meant mate but that don't mean others will. (English!)

Strange echo that .....as i didn't utter a word!! Please don't put words in my mouth....I am quite able to call tw@t myself, just didn't want to get told off again!! Ericmark , guess u (sorry you) Didn't read post giving details of found fault, you were spot on :wink: Seems a bit...

Joking mate :mrgreen: Anyway here's the pics :- Si.

Proper English?? Anyway quick update. Mates problem got worse last night and kettle and cooker started tripping main rcd. His sparky cancelled so he was not happy. He asked if I would have another look as I was there doing other work. Thanks to the help on here I soon tracked down...

Mikeyd, thanks 4 your reply, I think u may be right, I will let u know after the sparky sorts it. I was asked if they needed new showers, hense trying to prove they were OK with just a multi. Won't remove earth again 4 testing :oops: Thanks again Si.

Like I said sparky booked in ....i am aware of the danger, no one was near the shower, it was switched on via pull cord which was earthed. As the shower will not trip with either of the heating elements energized, I rightly or wrongly didn't think it was causing the fault, and thought this...

Earth only removed after checking shower would run OK on either heater element, and meter testing. Only then 4 one second it took to trip main rcd with power on, and then replaced. Si.

Hi, showers have been there 7+ years as they are. From memory the cu has 8 mcb's with a combined 100a isolator/rcd. The shower mcb's I think were 40 & 32 OK for the shower output. They have been away for a month, now back they have the problem, which was fine before. They have this...

Hi, a friend has the above problem where either of his showers will trip the cu's only rcd/isolator. The mcb's for each shower don't trip If I disconnect one of the heater elements from either shower both showers will heat the water. If I switch the elements round both showers still...

Hi, I have a problem with a reduced flow rate after the water board have been carring out work in the area, and was hoping someone could tell me what flow rate I should expect from removing the insde stop cock and measuring the flow rate from the open pipe. The supply to the building is...

Just letting you know I had a local plumber out today who was more than happy to go over what I wanted to do, and is going to test and flush my pipework (all of which will be exposed), and then fit all the gas pipework, Boiler, and commission it. I don't really see how this is any different...

I am also looking to install the water pipework and mount the boiler/ flue etc, and have been looking through old posts to try and find what is required from a legal point of view. As far as I could find from old posts, as long as you have the pipework installation passed by Building control...
