Hi,
I plan to replace an existing power shower with a 3bar salamander pump. The existing power shower has the usual pull cord by the door and a socket \ transformer in the airing cupboard behind the shower.
The new shower pump has a standard UK plug. The cable is not long enough to reach the current location of the socket where the transformer is wired into. What is the best method to connect the shower pump? Should I leave the pull cord in place and extend the socket to reach the pump plug or can I simply take the supply from the consumer board (comes up the airing cupboard to loft to pull switch then back into airing cupboard to socket) into a standard plug socket?
Am I allowed to do any of this work as a DIYer or would an electrician have to do this?
Thanks
Warren
