Yes, I take your point - I did not mean to sound dismissive. I believe the Shower force 2000 transformer outputs 24v DC. I hope this is correct. Is there a way of telling from the ratings on the transformer? :?

That is exactly the problem Eric. I either need to replace transformer with a similar one...I think the one you have suggested may be OK with an rcd in the circuit. OR I replace whole shower unit with a new power shower - mains voltage with an earth (slight problem here is that I would have...

Yes it is a transformer - see reply from Ericmark below

The transformer for my Showerforce 2000 shower has stopped working. I have looked around and I don't think I can get an identical replacement. The transformer has the following ratings :- INPUT 230/240V ~ 50-60Hz OUTPUT 24V ~ 100VA Can anyone tell me where I might be able to get one...OR...

The lamps are 12v. They are a set of 5 Wickes LV downlights (a few years old) in a bedroom. I have taken 1 out and the other 4 stay on, so I guess they are not in series...I have not got the floorboards up so can't see the wiring. I just thought they were as only 1 cable actually joins into...

I have just replaced a transformer which is a heavy old type (magnetic with coils) with a small lightweight electronic transformer - http://www.screwfix.com/prods/39220/Lighting-Lamps/Electronic-Transformers/Electronic-Transformers/Halolite-35-105w-Electronic-Transformer . The output rating on...

Can anyone help with this please :- I have purchased a new Triton 9.5 kw electric shower which, according to the instructions, needs a triple pole switch with at least 3mm contact gap to be included in the circuit. This needs to be a ceiling pull cord switch for the bathroom. Problem is, I...

Thanks JohnD. I suppose it's obvious really, but until I had the blocked sink outlet I didn't think about the dishwasher outlet pipe being looped up. Anyway, pipe looped up, sink unblocked and dishy working! Many thanks for the help, Tony

Thanks for the responses. I didn't even know we had one of these things! I do have a partially blocked drain, but also it looks like the non-return valve in the dishwasher (Bosch Classixx) is not working i.e. If I fill the sink with water and then pull plug out, the water from the sink goes...

This morning my sink did not drain properly. At the same time my dishwasher (whose outlet pipe is attached to the U-bend of the sink) failed to drain properly - 2 or 3 inches of mucky water in the bottom. I have rodded the outlet pipes from the sink so this is now draining better (still not...

is this a non-return valve from a bosch classixx?

Thanks for the info Ban. The towel rad is supplied by metal pipes, so it will need earth bonding. Would it be sufficient to connect the earth terminal of the element switch (which is located outside the en-suite bathroom) to the inlet and then to the outlet pipe of the towel rad. ? Or would...

I have installed a 150 watt heating element in a new towel radiator in my en-suite bathroom. The element is switched using a double pole switch with 5 amp fuse. Can anyone tell me if I have to worry about supplementary earth bonding ? The towel rail is also plumbed in to my home central...

Thanks guys for all your help. Problem solved. BG engineer found that the solenoid which controls the gas valve opening was faulty, so replaced that and boiler fired up. He also discovered that the operating pressure I was getting was only 14 millibars, instead of 21, so a call to Transco...

Thanks everyone for your quick responses...You do not have to turn the knob to main burner on this one, and yes, I did have to hold a long time before pilot stayed lit...can I tell whether the thermocouple is alreght or not by viewing through the glass ? i.e. does the flame burn differently...

Hi all, pilot light went out last night...do not know why. This morning, managed to ignite pilot light , but boiler itself will not ignite with CH and HW set to continuous and thermostat up high. Boiler is fairly old Ideal Concorde CF, Model number 60N. The pump seems OK (this is only a...
