We've had our shower pump installed for almost a year, and before that the previous owners had 2 separate pumps for the ensuite and main bathroom.
We haven't changed the pipe layout and the only thing we did was install a flange for the hot water in the tank.
Yesterday when both showers were in use for quite a while, the pump just stopped. It wouldn't turn on for hot water but cold water was fine. I gave it a few hours and the hot water was being pumped again.
I then started noticing than in random occasions the shower pump would turn on and the off when the water was ran downstairs.
What doesn't make any sense is that the cold water feed for these taps comes from the mains and it doesn't go anywhere near the pump for the showers, they're a separate dedicated set of pipes for each shower on the other side of the tank, with the cold water coming from the header tank
Has anyone got any suggestions? Could an air blockage cause this?
