Electric Shower ceiling pull switch

Hi 

Just wondering about should I pull the pull switch of then on after using electric shower 
Or just leave it pulled on all the time  ( as its just an isolator switch ) 
Reason I ask is the pull switch tends to wear out after a few years as being turned of / on about 5 times a day causes a lot of wear 

Welcome your thoughts 

Regards Steve

    I never switch my electric shower isolator off. I just control it with the button on the shower. 🤷‍♂️

    No. It's only there to enable people to work safely at it. Just control it from the button on the shower.
