Hi all,
Wondering if someone could help me with my pain in the arse Salamander shower pump... A couple of months ago one of the flexible inlet adapters sprung a leak and I decided (maybe incorrectly) that I could fix it myself. I have replaced the part and fixed the leak but in the process the pump seems to have decided it is now positive pressure rather than negative, and it will no longer turn on automatically when the shower faucet is turned on...
I now suspect the expansion vessel to be the issue. I have noticed the tiny black pipe that connects the expansion vessel to the pump itself leaks a bit, I pumped the expansion vessel back up after my initial fix and the shower kind of worked but has got worse over time. Does anyone have experience with this, and if so does anyone know where I might be able to get a replacement nut/fitting for the expansion vessel to replace the leaky one/a whole new vessel with fitting included? Photos attached below.
Thanks in advance!
