Hi,
We have a positive head Stuart Turner Showermate Eco S1.5 bar Twin pump, Part No. 46502, fed from a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard (at the foot of which the pump is located) that has given 9 years faultless service.
With no obvious sounds of impending failure in the last few weeks, after two showers yesterday morning, it's stopped working.
I've taken the shower head off the hose and laid the hose on the shower tray and turned the shower on but you just get the unassisted gravity flow coming out. The pump is now making a sort of humming noise and you can feel a very gentle vibration if you put your hand on top but it never kicks into operation.
Is there anything I can try before considering replacing it?
Will this style of pump have filters on the inlet side, is it worth checking those or does this sound pretty terminal?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
