A new shower pump is going to be installed in my airing cupboard next the the hotel water cylinder. Obviously it needs an electrical supply, the only one I have that is immediately convenient id the immersion heater supply (13amp) in the airing cupboard.Am I allowed to take a spur off of this , and must it run to a fused spur connection. I take it I cannot put a normal 3 pin socket in there. That would be easier as then I could put a 3 pin plug onto the pump, and would be easier for connection/disconnection. Not sure if if this allowed though. Any advice would be appreciated. Nothing else is supplied by this immersion heater supply apart form the hot water itself.

The answer is no, if its a functioning immersion heater supply, it should be a dedicated circuit. You should be able to pick up a cable under the floor from a ring circuit and then fuse down the spur to correct amperage.
