Those answers are spot on: just the sort of excellent advice I was hoping for. Thankyou so much! Cam :D

Thanks for your response re gas/alternative immersion heaters. For now, I'd really like to focus on how a fully-trained electrician might go about wiring in the added electric shower at the consumer unit and via the submains from the meter cabinet. (I'm sure that there must be a solution and...

:x Thanks so much for all the advice! The consensus seems to be that the NDO would not be likely to increase the supply current. It's great to know this and I'd love to be able to give Mum some suggestions on how she can get around her shower problem. Just to clarify the details of the...

Great: thanks for the answer to question 1! If the supplier won't increase the supply current, what sort of switch fuse would be needed then? Just one 80 amp switch fuse that all three 10mm cables run out of? (The underfloor heating at 44 amp and the shower at 44 amp might well get used at...

Hi everyone! Sorry for what might be useless questions, but I'm just starting out with my electrician courses. My mum lives in a flat and wants to add a 10.5 kW electric shower which would draw about 44 amps. She already has underfloor heating that uses a maximum of 44 amps (10,590 W) as...

Agile/Tony, are you assigning expectations to me that I never had? My hope was that some board members with more experience than I have could advise on what possibilities exist for improving operational pressure at the point just before the kitchen mixer is fitted. I just wanted to know...

I would like to avoid having to replace the incoming feeds (especially from the street mains). Could someone advise on the possible benefits of an accumulation/expansion/pressure vessel (with an associated pressure charging pump, if necessary)? Again, huge thanks, Cam

That's static pressure. Thanks!

The mains pressure is 1.1 bar. Thanks!

:?: Hi everyone! I have a question that I'm sure can easily be answered by many of you. Here's the necessary background: We have recently fitted a new kitchen, including a new kitchen tap/mixer (which has fairly narrow feed tails). The pressure in the property was not good (because...

Hello! I've fitted a WaterMill PC50DLV shower pump to my bathroom pipes. The flowswitches should automatically switch on the pump any time I open a tap. Unfortunately, it only switches on some of the time. The pump is in a flat and the header tank in this flat is constratined to giving a...
