On 03/02/2004 Rob Nicholson opined:-
I'd be worried about not testing a key component like this.
However,
can't
you simpy wire it up temporarily? Just stick a 13A plug on the end
of
the
shower pump wire and plug it into an extension lead.

Snap ;-)


And then, if the plumper requires it, take the plug off again until an
electrician can make the final connections. I would have expected any
plumper to have done this, unless he is willing to return at your
convenience, and for free, when you get the electrician in.....




And why should he return for free?? is the plumber running a charity??
No
his time is money, so maybe the oOP should have arranged for a suitable
supply adjacent to the pump prior to installation. Don't expect the
plumber
to do some thing for nothing or you may not get a good quality job.


He is refusing to test his work !
The plumper is refusing to connect up the unit, it wouldn't matter if
there
was an electricity supply to hand, in the words of the OP "he has said
that
he does not do electrics", so he (the plumper) should either arrange for
an
electrician to attend or return when an electrician will be present -
after
all the electrician 'might not do water'...

A fair day's pay for a fair day's work.


Very true, and a fair days work for a fair days pay !

A I would have the electrician do the wiring and leave a switch adjacent to
the pump position. The plumber then can fit and connect up the wire. If he
can't do that he is a moron and don't hire him.
