Shower Pump Problem

[Ian400]

I have a Shower Mixer connected via a Showerforce pump to an Open Vent Direct Cylinder, heated by an Immersion Heater. The Pump supplies the Shower Mixer only. It has always worked well.

I recently drained the system to replace the Immersion Heater. When I refilled the system I checked that all the air was cleared.

Since then I have found that whenever I use one of the hot taps at the Wash Basin or Kitchen Sink, the Pump will run for 2 or 3 seconds after turning off that tap. This didn’t happen beforehand.

I would appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks Ian

There's some trapped air somewhere in the system. Try running the pump outlet hoses into a bucket with the power turned off
