A 30mA residual current device (RCD) MUST 

be installed in all UK electric and pumped 

shower circuits. This may be part of the 

consumer unit or a separate unit.
Switch off immediately at isolating switch if 

water ceases to flow during use.
Other electrical equipment i.e. extractor fans, 

pumps must not be connected to the circuits 

within the unit.
