[QUOTE="jopar, post: 205027, member: 11712"] Mine when I'm having my bath (don't have a shower) sits on top of the toilet cistern... Won't say how many times my daughter or OH have come down stairs with 'I know it's looks pretty on top of the cistern but!' while clutching my pump :oops: My pump has even been dunked in the odd bucket of disinfectant at work, when I've been cleaning kennels and not come to any harm.. If you look on the back of your pump (where all the manufacturering symbols are) you should find IPX and a number... This is a waterproof rating, mines IPX-8 which means that it can be submerge under water for around an hour at 1 meter... But Roche do suggest that you avoid submergance if possible as well never know you many not have put the battery cover on tight enough, there may be a hair line crack in the cases etc that you haven't noticed... So on the safe side [/QUOTE]
