hi,

I've fitted a new shower pump as my old Mira one packed in. I've replaced it with a Stuart Turner Monsoon 3.0 bit have a question about the bonding. The four pipes were bonded together with earthing cable and this was then attached to a small earth screw on the bottom of the old Mira pump. However the new Stuart turner pump doesn't have this? The instruction manual just says that the four pipes should be bonded together and that in some circumstances equipotential bonding may be required - see p.13 section 4.15 to 4.28:

I've left the four pipes bonded together but I've removed the earth wire that went to the bottom of the old pump as there is no where to connect it to. Is this OK or should I be connecting it to somewhere else?

Thanks,

Jez

The pump case should be earthed by the supply cable, the pipes are earthed together to maintain earth continuity throughout the pipework as plastic hoses are used
