Hello all,
We have an electric shower in our bathroom. Since we have moved in I've noticed that when turning it on sometimes the lights in the flat (which are all on dimmers) reduce their output very slightly. My understanding is that this isnt completely abnormal but over the last few days I've noticed the slightest tingle in my finger when turning the shower on and off. Almost like a hardly noticeable pins and needles which lasts for a split second. Obviously this is a very mild electric shock.
No more showers until I get a professional out obviously but I just wondered if anyone could shed any light on what the issue might be and also just how dangerous is? Could it just be a static shock for example or it it definitely some kind of defect in the unit? I asked my wife and amazingly she said she's noticed it for ages but hasn't bothered mentioning it!
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
