Curious about Does an Electric Shower Need a Pull Cord? Uncover accurate answers here.

If the pull cord is supplying the shower then it is a 45 amp pull switch you need. If its supplying the lights it would be 6 / 10 amp pull switch. A 6amp switch is only really suitable for lighting and other low load accessories. A shower should be isolated with the 45amp switch (or pullcord switch).
