As above really.
.
I have a 7.5kw Triton T80si electric shower (at least 6 years old) and it has leaked water out the rear down the wall on the right (as you view) which is where the water feed is.
It has now stopped working, there is power to it as the neon light comes on when the power cord is pulled.
.
I have read numerous conflicting stories on here and other places regarding the need for Part P clearance as such and also regarding the wiring, which i shall contact the council about to be certain.
.
I intend to buy a like for like shower (as much as i can) and install a Triton T80Z for the sake of ease rather than anything else. However i can only find 8.5kw.
.
The issues being:
The electrics are red and black wiring not brown and blue, unsure on size but including the cover 13mm wide x 6mm deep.
The isolator pull cord is approx 13 meters from the fuse box (cartridge type with wire in them)
The bathroom is on the 1st floor, fuse box in cupboard on ground floor.
The shower fuse has a 30a marking - have not compared the thickness of the wire though.
.
Is this is simple as taking one and replacing with another?
Or; if i have to get an 8.5kw model is this likely to require a load of rewiring and therefore to big a job to take on?
.
many thanks for your help
