Hi,
Im looking at replacing my power shower. Looking at it i can only see one feed going into it, it looks like just a cold water feed.

Is it common to have a power shower just running off a cold feed?

Can anyone recommend me a power shower which only needs a cold feed.

Thanks
Nick

This is the cable, looks like a 6mm or 8?.

Would i only need to replace the cable from the shower to the shower power cord which is on the ceiling??

I wouldn't put a 9.5kW unit on a 6mm² cable. It is possible with twin & earth under the right installation conditions.

I'd use 10mm².
What size is my cable?
Does it look like 6 or 10mm?
