your shower must be wired through a Residual current circuit breaker (RCCB). In case of any of any wiring defects it stops you getting electrocuted.

John, December 2008

Showers MUST be wired direct to mains input fuse box / consumer unit- and you only need to have a separate fuse / isolater for it
Some say connect to cooker as this has > 45amp fuse but preferrable any spare position on its own should /can be used as long as the fuse matches- isolator / is in line with the requirement on the shower installation paperwork -- please please please make sure the shower is fully earthed and you would be better to have a spark look at finished installation
