Hi, I hope someone might be able to advise on my shower pump which seems to be intermittently not working. In particular it is making high pitched noises sometimes and then more recently the hot water has stopped being pumped so there is little more than a dribble coming through.
I suspect there is air in the system but I've tried bleeding it by turning off the electrics and running the shower for a few minutes. This hasn't worked. I think the fault is only with the hot water feed, the cold is running fine
From what I've read, the first installation of a shower pump was not ideal - it is above the hot water tank and takes water directly from the top pipe of the tank. However I can't solve that issue now so I'm looking for ideas on how to get the pump running properly again. The newest pump was only put in 14 months ago.
I've attached a couple of photos:
- One is a crude picture of the set up, the pump is in the eaves of the loft, the header tank in the apex of the roof and the HW tank and shower are upstairs.
- the second is the shower pump itself
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
