Hi Forum, Can anyone tell me how the bath overflow works on a Beresford showerbath? I think I can hear mine dripping sometimes! Is it from the knob that opens and closes the plughole? Thanks, Papabob

Thanks RF,

Hi, Forum, A relative of mine recently had a new kitchen fitted and when the electrician came to move some sockets and fit low voltage lights, he said that the consumer unit ( Wylex rewireable) had to be changed and the gas and water had to be bonded. I can understand the bonding but did the...

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice. I have now decided to have a new CU fitted and upgrade the shower to probably 9.5kw. I will have this done by a professional! For my own satisfaction, would you please advise me on what CU I should have. If it is a split load CU please advise what...

Thanks Davy and Cremegg, your comments are really appreciated. One other question, if I want to have my primary consumer unit upgraded and have a new shower CU fitted, would the DNO fit 2 isolator switchs between the meter and the 2 CU's? Thanks Bob

Thank you Cremegg, It's not a case of being lazy, my current 7kw shower drips (worn washer?) and I just want to replace it. It has been a brilliant shower for me and hot enough. Seeing I am happy with it, it don't make sense to renew the wiring when there is no need. I just wanted to add a RCD...

Photos of my Consumer unit.

Thanks Dave. I have taken the photos but can't find out how to attach them! Sorry to mess you about, you must think "what a fool!" Bob

Thanks Dave, My Main fuse is 60A. The shower consumer unit is fed directly from the consumer side of the Meter. This consumer unit was fitted by the Electricity Board years ago and has an isolating switch and a 30A MCB. I assume I would change this CU to a RCD or a RCBO. Thanks,Bob

Hi Forum, I would be grateful for some advice. I intend to change my 7kw shower for a 7.5 Shower. The reason I am not going any bigger is that I don't want to change the 6mm Twin and Earth cable. The cable is less that 10 metres long and travels through a plastic trunking and under floorboards...
