Hi guys,
Pensioner(82 Big Years Old)has had and electric shower fitted.
Hanging from the bathroom ceiling is a pullcord for the light,a
pullcord for the bathroom heater and a pull cord (with red power on
light at ceiling switch)for power on to the shower unit.Is it ok if the
power on switch with red light indicator is left on all the time, as at
her age all these cords can be confusing,then just press the shower on
button when she gets into the shower.

That's what I generally recommend anyway, the switches are there for
isolation purposes only, not operation. --

...and don't worry that the red light will run up your electric bill. It
is only a neon and its consumption is insignificant. Pulling the cord
will probably end up pulling the switch off the ceiling in time. They
need quite a tug don't they.
As Lurch says - leave it alone - perhaps shorten the cord.

Thanks guys for the quick reply,it will make things easier for the old
lady
cheers-mal
