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.

Thanks in advance for your answers- cheers

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.

I usually try and fit them behind the door. It really annoys me that
everyone thinks they should be right inside the door next to the light
pull switch.

My mate has just fitted a new bathroom and moved the pullswitch
outside and changed it to a 2 gang dimmer. He then put the shower pull
cord where the lightswitch was. Brilliant idea.
