    Earthing new power shower to cold water pipe?

    Thanks everyone for your help and advice. I've decided the safest thing is to get an electrician in to come and fit a new cable for me. The amount of my own personal time I've wasted trying to get this cable out and a new one fitted I could have paid for 2 engineers to come out(!). Thanks...

    Earthing new power shower to cold water pipe?

    @sparkwright The 30th is when I have a Triton engineer coming to have a look at a leak from the unit (although it seems to have stopped leaking at the moment so I might be able to cancel that. I just wanted this fixed by the time he got here at the latest. The other side of the wall is the...

    Earthing new power shower to cold water pipe?

    It's certainly not far, probably just over 1M. I might try a pull in that case with some rope attached at the top and see if I have any better luck at that.

    Earthing new power shower to cold water pipe?

    Hi there, the power is supplied by the flat 2 core (with earth) grey cable which you can see tacked on the left-hand side of the picture in the attic. This does have an earth and goes down into the isolator switch. Then the live and neutral come out of the isolator and it's the white 2-wire...

    Earthing new power shower to cold water pipe?

    Hi all, I hope you can answer my query. To cut a long story as short as possible: I recently had my old Mira Express power shower replaced (by a plumber) with a Triton Thermostatic power shower. The Triton has an earth connection inside whereas the Mira did not. I'm not sure if this is because...
