I've just installed a shower pump that I bought second hand. It's only a a singl impeller, on the hot pipe only, as the mains pressure from the cold tap is fantastic already. It's 5bar and does a fantastic job!
The problem is, I thought, from past experience, that a shower pump had a valve that kicked in when it notices pressure running through it. This one however is always on when it's switched on. That's not right surely?
Is that part a common part to fail? Or is there an easy fix? Or perhaps an aftermarket inline switch that could be plumbed in to tell it when to poweer up?
I forgot to make a note of the exact brand etc before I came to work this morning, I'll get the exact details later if it would help to diagnose.
