    This isn't a DIY-able job as there is far too much risk with electrical and water systems in contact with each other. It needs to be completed by a competent person.

    If you do wish to proceed then have a look at this thread:

    The element MUST be properly earthed and the earthing off the supply isn't even shown in the photos...!

    Hi,

    Ive been doing DIY elcetrics since I was 10 and want to do this.

    Earth - I will make sure that it has an earth off the supply. I just didnt show it in the pic but I realise thats essential.

    I cant follow that link you gave me above.

    Can anyone say what cable goes to what # number?

    Brown to # ?
