I visited a relative last year and noticed the electric shower was leaking. I bought a new one, but when I went to fit it realised there was a relay involved, to start/keep the extractor running once the shower was on/off.
There was a single black wire connected to one of the heating elements in the shower unit.
Perhaps the extractor started when the shower was turned on, then it continued to run for a few minutes after the shower was turned off. I can't quite remember.
Anyway, I couldn't access all the wiring in the loft above, but made a diagram of what I could see.
I didn't reconnect the black wire, or change any of the other wiring. I left it taped up securely in the airing cupboard.
The Isolator is in the airing cupboard, but the ceiling switch next to the shower controls the extractor.
The question is whether the system is safe to leave, or whether there's anything I should do to make it better/simpler.
Thanks for any advice,
