I don't know if you'll pick this up, Bathclick, but this whole thing is becoming ridiculous - it's completely frying my brain now The plumber's been back twice more, re-plumbed the pipe feeding the pump so that it's got a U bend in it - also it now taps into the big pipe coming out of the top...

OP, why are you worried that the shower or whatever will need to be replaced? Let him sort it out You're right, of course, DP - but I must admit I'm starting to wonder about this guy, frankly!!! The pump operates the shower but nothing else, and the hot water flow to the house taps is fine...

Hi Bathclick, Well, I've poked around in the airing cupboard, and no, there definitely isn't any U type bend in the plastic pipework supplying the hot water to the pump ... so I'll definitely mention this on Wednesday when this blasted guy comes again I must admit I'm also a bit surprised...

Hi again, So sorry, my fault ... the 15 litres a minute flow rate was the old power shower. I've just got a bucket and measured the flow of the new mixer one, and it's 6 litres a minute with the pump running, when it eventually does - obviously until the pump starts there's no water coming...

It's from Wickes and I've copied and pasted the info below - hope it helps?? Yes, my hubby ran it out of interest to find the flow and it's about 15 litres a minute Hoping to hear from you - and we really, really appreciate this, by the way :-) 1.5 Bar Twin Impeller Shower Pump...

Many thanks for everyone's advice so far, but now I'm even more confused ... The plumber came and said the bar mixer and pump are OK but that there's a problem with low hot water pressure in the house; it's not enough to make the pump start working. The boiler's in the kitchen and the pipe...

Many thanks, DP - yes, he's actually a plumber, he's done it for 35 years, so I can't understand why he can't seem to sort it There's a pump involved too, to boost the flow - could it be this as well? If we've just had a shower and try to turn it back on immediately then it comes on fine...

Please can anyone help? We've just had a Coram shower pod installed, with a thermostatic bar mixer ... and there's a problem with the water flow, or lack of When we turn the flow knob on nothing happens - it only works when we turn the temperature control round and round, and even then it...
