    Grohe wireless pumped shower

    Am I missing something? The instruction, as I understand it anyway states that the recommended inlet pressure is 0.1bar. It then says if between 0.1bar & 0.01bar, priming may be needed. Does this not mean initially to get pump running without running dry? If that is the case then surely the...

    Grohe wireless pumped shower

    Thanks for reply. Did not measure the water pressure as the mixer valve in main bathroom is fine. The vertical distance from bottom of cold tank to shower head is approx' 450mm but is this relevant as the unit is pumped? Gary.

    Hotpoint dishwasher not heating!

    Hi, Just realised that the round black thing is the buzzer! The black square thing is the relay! Is this likely to be the culprit? With those resistance readings, is it a good idea to change heater as well or is this ok? Thanks, Gary.
