I want to know if it is "okay" to swap a 5 amp breaker with a 10 amp. They are console mounted push to reset breakers. The breaker controls my transom shower pump. The pump starts and stops itself, dependent on whether or not the spout is open. When it is open, pressure forces water out and the pump turns on. When the spout is closed, pressure builds up and the pump shuts down. The problem I have is the pump draws about 8 amps when it is trying to build pressure to shut off. I can run the pump, but it trips the breaker every time someone stops the flow.
