Hi all.
Our Triton 8.5kw shower is giving up the ghost. Flow rate awful, fluctuating temperatures, clicking sound inside it! We're going to Argos soon to pick up another unit, but I'm not sure what rating we can go for. Obviously the simple / safe answer is to replace with another 8.5kw one, but we'd like to know if our circuitry is up to a more powerful version.
On the consumer unit there are two important ratings I think - one is the RCCB, which states 62A. The other is the dedicated shower circuit, which states 32A. Assuming the wiring is good quality 10mm2 and the length of the run is 7.5-10m, what's the most powerful shower I should be looking at?
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
