Purpose of shower switch

No bath tap in my place, no bath, stupid. Just showers.

More fool you lot. Mine works on mains water pressure and the hot water sits a bit stored hot water tank. No need for any electricity in the shower.

No t*ts.

It would be like turning off

But you can if you want to or need to.

All permanantly wired devices need a point of local isolation.

I'm not that fussy. It's not like a c*ck where if it's too short it falls out on the backstroke. Anyway, t*ts larger than handfuls just sag and look ridiculous.

Women who swim in cold water probably burn off excess calories - big t*ts are just lumps of fat. Same goes for enormous buttocks.

Cite the legislation requiring a microwave to be connected to an accessible switched outlet.

I know they're meant to, but I've still not seen a sensible reason why. They can be isolated in the fusebox if you need to work on them. They can be switched off in normal operation by the controls on the unit.

Yes it does, because if you choose to switch that switch when dripping wet, you wont get electrocuted when that switch is switched by pulling on a cord to that switch.

The one that you switch by pulling on a cord.

There has to be one somewhere to turn it off when the one in the shower fails.

But when that fails you can't.

But its designed to be used wet.

And the one attached to the string you pull isnt.

Typically when the house was built or remodeled.

Depends on who is doing the scolding.

So you bought/stole/inherited a dud, as always.

Nope, cold showers cant.

You invite someone in to admire your remodelling?! Do you inform someone to check if you've fitted a new lightbulb correctly aswell?

Well if it's deliberate, nobody is going to get to the isolation switch.

It was fitted over 18 years ago before I bought the house. I've got a new one when I get round to fitting it, as this one has started dropping pressure, the valve doesn't always open properly, and I can't obtain a replacement valve to fit it.

They do if you believe the bullshit everybody spouts. I've heard of people allegedly dying because they fell asleep in a warm bath which became room temperature.

I wonder why there is a requirement that the switch indicate whether it is on or off even when there is no power, i.e. pull switches need a 0/1 indicator (or similar), not just a neon?

It was a teasing question that the pillock asked.

TBH I have never used my shower pull switch other than to swap the shower and I installed the first shower in 1999.

The rule that GPOs have to have a switch.

Yes, you actually are that stupid.

But if has caught fire, its not necessarily a great idea to turn the entire ring main off in the fusebox and with a fusebox, not that easy for the stupid to work out what to turn off in there either.

Not if that's what has failed.

No, I actually want to know why. As yet, no sensible reason has been given.

And you could have just used the fuse/circuit breaker in the consumer unit for that.

I said ACCESSIBLE. Mine or example is sited in front of the socket. I'd have to pull the microwave out to get to it.

And I was a pillock for answering it. My apologies.

I could have done but it is on a shared RCD.
