    Fitted something similar in a hairdressers - ok for hand washing. I was lucky as I could use a redundant shower circuit to supply the thing.

    I have not fitted that make, but others. Work OK for a handwash basin.

    Do check the power rating, most of them require a dedicated supply & do not work on a 13A plug!

    Thanks Guys...
    Though I had read that it could be plugged in? is 16 amps too much on socket.

    Cheers

    Yes, its rated at 4.5KW which is nearer to 19 amps.

    The lower power the heater is, then the slower you will have to run the water, if you want it very hot.
    You have not said what the heater is going to be used for. Do reveal the whole story, Maybe someone has a smart idea...

    It's for a small basin in a pantry, will hardly be used tbh, but thought, if these are any good and can be plugged in then I would add some hot water instead of just the cold.
