Good price.
Just make sure you use 10mm wiring with this shower... 6mm isn't up to the job.

Do you know any deals on 10mm cable? I got a 35m run.

Not really.. think you're going to need to budget £2/m minimum.
But 35m!!! How big is your house???
Don't forget 50A mcb and 50A switch.
Not being funny, but this isn't IMHO a DIY job. Only a qualified electrician should be installing a new shower.
Not sure on the situation if it's just a like-for-like replacement unit, but if you're installing new cabling then it's definitely a job for an electrician.

Yeah it's a long run, doing a 1st fix on an extension. And yes definitely not a diy job, terminating 10mm is not going to be fun.

I've got a faulty Opal shower (solenoid has gone I think) in my second bathroom. Any idea on a reasonable cost for switching out one shower for another from a labour perspective?
Happy with DIY to a degree, but messing with water AND electricity seems out of my comfort zone.

EVERY homeowner should know how to switch off water AND electricity. :-)

This model is exactly the same as an Opal 2 model - they've just tarted up the front case and shower head a bit. Really quite simple to switch if you know how to isolate the power and the water. If you don't (or if you're feeling particularly lazy, you could just swap out the control board (with the solenoid) from your old Opal with the one in this. Nothing more than a few screws and crimped spade connectors.
If you're in any way uncertain about any of this and particularly isolating the power then get a spark in.:smiley:

Triton - cheap and cheerful. The 2 year warranty is about the lifetime of their showers - toss a coin whether your shower fails 1 month before the 2 years or 1 month after.
