Leaky pump

Hi, We have a water pump located next to the immersion heater in the airing cupboard in the upstairs bathroom (see attachment). I assume this is for the central heating system as it leaks when the central heating is switched on. The leak is only a drip but quite a lot of water collects when the heat...

I have purchased a coil of 3 core round flex (to BS 6500) with a max rating at 240 V of 16A, 3840 W. I assume this would be more than sufficient to cope with a 3000 W immersion heater?

I need to purchase an additional length of cable for the controller switch. The local homebase would not advise me as to what gauge of wiring I should be using for an immersion heater switch. What is the corrent type of electrical wire?
