We have just had a new bathroom fitted and the plumber installed a new shower pump and a mixer shower form Victoria plumb. The shower has a deluge head and a standard hand held shower head. When the shower is running with the deluge head the pump works fine without fault. However when you changE over to the hand held shower held the pump shuts down and you get zero water flow.
The plumber it is because the bore of the hose to the hand held shower head is too small to create enough pressure drop to start the pump. Has anyone else come across this problem also?
Could anyone suggest an easy fix for this? Ie get a hose with a bigger bore maybe. If so where could I purchase this from and would I need to change the fittings on the shower to accommodate also?
Thanks
Andy
