Wire An Electric Shower [2012-02-14]

Electronic Shower are the most recent addition to the style enhancing set of bathroom fixtures. These are not only brilliant in terms of performance but are comparatively easy to install and handle. Before installing these showers, the installer and the user, both needs to be kept in mind.The basic requirement to install an electric shower is that of plumbing with adequate water supply and properly established electric connection. It is necessary to take precautions while installing them in order to prevent any mishap. Fifty percent of all showers sold in the UK have replaced an existing product and changing one electric shower for another is perceived to be an easy job.

1 Prepare cables or wires of the right thickness for your shower as specified in the installation manual. These wires or cables can be easily purchased from local electronic equipment stores. Determine if the power that is coming from the consumer unit is ample to sustain your type of shower. Bigger showers require more power to heat a greater amount of water.

2 Ensure all the required plumbing has been installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines and ground all the metallic pipes in the system. Isolate a separate circuit for your Electronic Sensor Faucet from the circuit breaker panel to prevent it from jamming the other circuits in the house. Connect the shower unit to the pipe and turn off the electricity around the working area as a precaution. Connect the cable from the circuit breaker panel to the shower's heating unit, whether in the shower head or separate and fixed to a wall, making sure the live wire is connected to the terminal marked "L" and the neutral to the terminal marked "N." Then seal the heating unit well enough to not allow any water in.

3 Find a convenient location to place the control switch. This is preferably just outside the shower booth. This will prevent water from reaching it. Make sure that the cable from the circuit breaker panel passes through this location. Install the switch into the wall and connect the live supply wire to it, leaving the neutral to run through. Make sure you also ground the socket to prevent any electrical accidents.

4 Clean up your working area then turn the power back on to test whether your shower is working properly.
