Having recently fitted an electric shower in a hairdressers, after I installed it I looked in MI's and seen that its designed for Domestic and not Light Commercial, obviously it will be getting used constantly in the hairdressers.

My question is, will this dramatically reduce the lifespan ? and will this invalidate the warranty ? ? the other electric shower is a domestic model i believe and so was the one that I replaced, although the one that I replaced was a Triton that lasted 6 months. Wish I checked before I bought but was a real busy day and the woman kept pestering me and expected me to drop everything i was doing and run to the rescue lol
 
the whole installation just screamed out handyman ! especially when i went to consumer unit and didnt find any showers labeled
 
If it has an RCD fitted it will be fine the RCD will sence any imbalance and will trip well before there is any danger to the shower regardless of the MCB rating. Think about a ring main at 30A is still safe even if you are only using one appliance. my MCB was tripping recently because I had a faulty iron. Although it worked the it kept tripping, the RCD tripped becuase of it as well.
