Shower booster pump

[Lorry]

Hi guys, Just had a shower booster pump fitted, need to connect to power. Can I take a feed off the boiler circuit, fit an RCD fused spur, then connect the shower pump? Don't want to spur off upstairs ring, as that already has a RCD protecting it. Just need to know if this is acceptable, or wif it will be flagged as a failure on the next PIR.
Thanks lorry

Just take a standard FCU from the ring circuit.

The fact it is already RCD protected is a good thing.


Where are you planning to locate your new FCU?

Hi RFL, thanks for quick reply, the FCU will be on the bathroom wall, landing side, so just need to run up the cavity to the shower. The reason I didn't want to connect to the ring is having no discrimination between the 2 RCD's, could cause all upstairs to trip when only he shower at fault.

How's the hangover Col?

No Part P if the FCU and the pump is located outside the bathroom??

didn't see that part.. like I said, it was late and I was drunk..

luckily, I'm one of the few people who rarely get a hangover.. it depends what I'm drinking..

Cider gives me hangovers but beer and whiskey doesn't..

Thanks for your help, I'll take the double socket plate off on the landing, fit a duel box, then put the fcu & single socket on, job sorted. Just to confirm, both the pump & fcu are outside the bathroom.
Thanks again for your help
