shower pump 'run on'

[longdogs]

Hi everyone

I have a pump which runs two seperate showers which recently has taken to running on when the shower/s are turned off. We normally turn it off at the switch incase it burns out or something. Does anyone have any ideas why the pump should suddenly start doing this and does it mean buying a new one??

Thanks very much

Could easily be a sticking flow switch.

Whether or not parts are available depends on the pump brand and model - what is it?

Hi softus

Sorry for the delay, my pc went berserk and I ended up re-installing the whole lot.

The pump is a MONSOON 3.0 BAR Twin
from Stuart turner Ltd.

Many thanks

Assuming there are no dead legs in the pipework after the pump (trapping air) the see this:

Turn the power off - connect a multimeter across the reed switches and have your assistant turn the shower valves on/off - check the flowswitches aren't sticking on.

Leak in system.

Read clamp out of position ( ensure read clamp is in the grove)

Faulty read switch or pcb (check in the control box for a closed circuit)

Jammed flow switch
