To be honest I feel really peed off about the whole experience I don't have the number for a' traditional' plumber so tried the 'rated people' site, the guy who quoted seemed a nice chap and his credentials and price seemed fair. He charged me the 'going' rate for the work, it seemed fine...

Apparently my Plumber was Corgi registered and has part P registration which allowed hime to work on my shower

Fundamentally it was my fault as I ordered the shower direct from Triton, I asked for a direct replacement for my existing 'Bermuda' I was asked if I knew what Kw it was but could only suggest the size of the cable. Although I did say that I'd bought the original shower over 10 years ago, I...

Thanks again John. I'd ideally not want to replace the CU If I can get away safely with just replacing the shower 30amp circuit breaker with a 40amp breaker as that would save me some cash....hopefully. The electrician is coming to quote at 3pm today so fingers crossed! Cheers

Thanks very much John and Riveralt, I think that I'm going to get a pro in to be completely safe! I am keen on getting an idea of cost as upon further research assuming the cable is okay, I know that the MCB isn't, it's an old MEM 30amp circuit breaker, so I'll have to get this unit replaced -...

Hi, Thanks for your help, I've found out that Triton only do a minimum of 8.5kw showers now, so there's no point in sending mine back so I'm going to have to get a pro to upgrade the supply to it. I can't work out the capacity of the cable, (the plastic is at least 18mm wide by about 8mm)...

Thanks for all your help, I think that I'm going to get the cost of a new MCB priced up, if that's expensive I'll return the shower. Cheers

Hi, I have just had a 9.5kw shower installed, my cable is at least 10mm wide and about 6 meters long, the MCB however is 30amp, my previous shower was 7.5 kw and was fine. Should I return the shower or get a higher rated MCB installed? Thanks in advance Newbie[/i]
