Shower heater advice needed

[ninkynonk]

I'm thinking of fixing up a body drier in my shower. This would basically be a fan heater (with a thermostat to prevent burns) and would only operate after the water is switched off.

The idea is to cut down on towels etc. and also to stop the shower cubicle getting mouldy. I need some advice on how to wire the changeover switch so that the heater can't operate while the shower's on, and vice versa.

Also what IP rating does the fan heater need to be?

Don't worry I know all about Part P, special locations etc. and a cousin of mine knows someone who can make all the connections, do the cross bonding etc.

Any advice gratefully received.

i would say most of the replies will be to get a proper electrician in. but not the one i used

There is a young man who uses a body drier most mornings.

Changes it for new one every few weeks.

Feeds it a candlelight meal the previous evening.

Part P and electrics not involved.

Re-inventing the wheel?

You are obviously oblivious to the problems we are having with the World's energy resources.

While you are at it, why don't you get a few halogen heaters to warm up your garden?

Aaaghh

Well at least I embarrassed myself after mid day....

just in case it is a serious question IIRC you generally wire to the body drier first and then to the shower. The controls built into the body drier than make sure the two devices can't be used at the same time.
