Electric shower tripping switch

    H All,

    This has been happening for a while. I have a triton T90 Z electric shower. It is the only shower in the house. For the last few months, I am regularly in the shower and it cuts out. I have to go down or shout down to my OH to go to the fuse box and flip the switch and it comes back on. This is annoying but money is tight. Is it dangerous? Any ideas is it something straightforward. If I was getting someone to look at it would it be a plumber or an electrician?

    Thanks!

    Seriously, this isn't one to be messing around with. There's one thing getting a bang from electricity, quite another to be standing naked in water at the time.

    It could be nothing much or it could be something more than nothing much

    And REC is a register electrical contractor.

    IT'S DANGEROUS.



    Money doesn't count if somebody is killed.
    Your standard light buld is probably 60 watts (electrical current)
    Your shower is 9000 watts :mad:
