Hi all, this will not solve your issue but will help to understand the issue. A 17 year old Showermate will have flow switches on both hot and cold to activate the pump. Chicken and egg. If there is no or very little gravity flow at the point of use the pump will not start as it will require...

Hi, second hand pumps are a complete waste of time in my opinion as they have been taken out for a reason normally unknown to buyer. If shower works fine on old pump (25T) but need to kick it to get it going it tells me your 1.4 is duff. For the price on internet I would replace with newer...
