electric to power shower

[Gamp]

Hi,
I currently have a Triton T70si shower and would like to upgrade to a Creda Thermostatic Power Shower. Is it a case of a straight swap? I have a gravity fed system.

Is it a case of a straight swap?

No - not for the electrical or the plumbing connections.

The existing shower will have it's own high power circuit, probably 40A or more. The new one only requires a minimal amount of power, most likely via a 3A fused connection unit.

The existing shower connects to the mains pressure cold water only.
The new one requires both a hot and cold feed from a low pressure stored water system.

gutted. Sounds like a big job for an unskilled plumber. Thanks for the quick reply.
