Default power shower feed

Will you be fitting a pump in the airing cupboard and teeing into existing
pipework ?

I am fitting a power shower in my bathroom, and need a 3A switched
supply. Is it ok to spur off my imersion heater supply with a 3A
switched fuse? This is the nearest available supply and has its own
supply from the consumer unit.


Very probably. The immersion is probably a 3kW @ 240V, taking 12.5A.
No diversity would be allowed for this. However, I doubt the pump
takes more than 2.5A (probably more like 1A continuous), so it
should be fine for a 15A circuit. Obviously there is no issue for a
16A circuit either.
