So we've been in this house 18 months and the shower pump has been hit and miss the whole time. There was a note on the socket saying turn off when not in use. The reason being, the pump would just randomly just start pumping due to I suspect a leak somewhere and it detecting flow?!?!
Anyway, the last week or so it's sounded even louder and worse than normal and has given up tonight. Cut out, and has a burning smell. All unplugged now.
We were aiming to do the bathroom later this year and a new pump was part of the plan. At the minute this pump just works with the ensuite shower so we'll need a pump that can run two showers although one won't be hooked up until later this year.
From what I gather, Stuart Turner pumps are the ones to go for, but I don't know which I need. And would it be a straight forward switch I could do myself?
And as a little extra, does this pipe work in the airing cupboard need looking at? Ideally I'd like to get a magnetic filter for the CH in before the pump. Was wondering whether the 3 port could be rotated so the curved pipe is facing down, then a right angle upwards to lengthen the pipe the pump is on so there's room for a filter? Feasible? Possible?
Thanks
