I've got a shower pump, plumbed it in, wired it up and all is well and working fine.
However, before I happily tile up the shower cubicle I have a nagging worry I need to sort out.
The shower mixer MI's say that if the pump has non-return valves I should remove the non-return valves from the mixer "to avoid cavitation".
I can't work out if the pump I have has got non-return valves or not, so while I try to work that out, I thought I'd ask on here to see if any of you good people can tell me :
1) What is cavitation?
2) Do I need to worry about it?
