I have an Easi Boost pump fitted to my body shower but recently the pump does not run when the shower is turned on. However if I turn the hot water on at the hand basin the pump will cut in and will continue to run when the hot water tap is turned back off. On examining the system I have found that the pump has only been connected to the hot water with the cold-water connection on the pump left open. The cold water feed to the shower being direct from the mains.
1. Is this an acceptable installation
2. Could the problem be high cold water pressure
3. Or a fault on the pump, and if so could I use the other end of the pump for the hot water or would the seals on that side be knackered due to the fact that it has been running unconnected
This shower and pump was fitted by a plumber 5 years ago has been working ok until recently.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
