Well, it worked...At first it didn't, but then I realised there is a socket in my shed servicing my water treatment and pump installation. Unplugged those plugs and hurray, the ELCB has not switched off now for half an hour. The unfortunate thing is that my freezer tells me the temperature is +3 degrees and that I now don't have fresh water ( and that obviously my tank will be running out at some point). Thanks for your help and I will be starting a new thread about my water installation as I have nothing but trouble with it.
One thing that keeps bugging me is that the fuse for the water installation has not tripped this time (it normally and regularly - once a month or so does).
