Hello
I've had my power shower pump for about 5 years. Right from the word go I was often having to lower the shower head in to the bath to get the pump to cut in but now sometimes it just wont cut in at all. It seems to be ok if hot water hasn't been used for a while but as soon as I use some of the water i.e. by someone having a shower then it won't cut in again for at least a couple of hours.
I presume the hot water tank not being full is lowering the water pressure and therefore the pump does not have enough pressure on it to force it to cut in.
Any guidance or advice on what I can do would be much appreciated.
Forgive my extreme ignorance on the subject but as well as a tank in the loft I also have an immersion heater, for which I do not turn the power switch on. Will turning this on make any difference - due to the erratic nature of when the pump kicks in I am struggling to diagnose it by trial and error.
Thanks
Phil
