    My shower is leaking very badly at underside of unit. I cant turn it off even though shower was off when it happened. I turned on sink tap this morning and suddenly the water started gushing out of shower. My landlord will try and get the plumber to call around. Ive had a shower in it since. Dont know if that's ok. Its a pump shower. Im just concerned about all the water thats being.wasted. I turned electric power off but to no avail.

    It's very dangerous to use a leaking power or electric shower. Safest thing is to turn off the power at the fusebox.

    Turn water off possibly a valve in hot press or under kitchen sink or if that doesn't work then turn it off at the meter.

    I wouldnt worry too much about the water thats being wasted , id be more concerned about jumping ito a shower that has water leaking around heavy electric cables . Its on par to having a bath with a plugged in toaster on your lap.:rolleyes:
