The pump was installed under 3years ago now and have had no trouble untill a couple of days ago .

hi guys , Having a problem with my shower pump . when having or turning on the shower the pump starts but shortly after stops running . Can leave for a while and start it up again and does exactly the same thing . Any ideas ? its a New team Duraspeed serial or model number 044516

Just wanted to say thanks all for your help. if i could post you a pint i would john and all . Installed magnaclean after a flush out the otherday andf all running good ;) . Would you say to check on it once a month or less or more once initial gunk has gone ?

It's not been a hobby and yes a genuine interest . And definately not looking to earn anything more than what i'm earning now , If i did well that would be a bonus ;) . I done some labouring work wich i did enjoy with a chippy and plasterer and both where great but never took the interest like i...

Well i'd be looking at doing exactly the same has john has . Like i said to start this has fallen at a bad cash flow time , so in my interest i'll be following John's tip's as so not to pay out anymore money or at least to keep the cost down . Hopefully be picking the magnaclean up at the end of...

i bought 2x compression T's 1 22m equal and 1 x2 22mm with a 15mm and for the bends i was going to use Elbow's would this be ok rather than a bent pipe ? and also bought isolating valve in case of any future probs to shut off the tank .

here's where i was going to make my cut's .. does this seem ok . the magnet stick's around both the "T" joint's and marked my cut on the pump pipe where there is no attraction to the magnet .

Hi guy's Got all my compression joint's needed and piping etc . Just bale'd out the tank and this is what it look's like at the bottom .
