Hi all
I had my ensuite re-done and finished two weeks ago. I had a new shower installed along with a Boss pump. (Will provide further details on pump if necessary).
The pump sits in the loft just above the airing cupboard which is adjacent to the shower cubicle.
For the first 10 days the shower worked perfectly and straight away when turned on. However on Friday it took about 3-4 seconds before the water would come out, a bit longer on Saturday (about 20-30 seconds) and then yesterday (Sunday) it wouldnt work at all. I did a bit of Googling and put the shower head on the floor and it worked. I put the shower head back in place and was fine. Switched off and back on again, and nothing until I put it back on the floor.
I have checked the troubleshooting section which suggested turning pump off, taking shower head off and letting the shower hose hang down to the floor and turn on. I left it running for a few minutes and put it all back together and switched pump on and it made no difference.
I contacted the plumber who installed who said that shower pumps are temperamental and he would just try the things I have already tried. He also said to persevere with what we were doing and it may equalise itself out?!
I just wondered if anyone has any other suggestions as it was working fine a few days ago.
Thanks
