Hi, just wondering if anyone has some advice!
Changed a showermate pump in the week, old one was a 1.4 twin but apparently this isnt made anymore so i swapped with a 1.8 twin.
The issue is now the shower pump kicks in on hot only. As i get further round to cold the pump stops. Ive read the old shower pump needed a minimum of 0.5bar inlet whereas this new 1.8 pump needs a minimum of 0.8bar. Could this be the issue or am i missing something else more obvious? All pipework etc is exisiting, i just changed hoses and pump.
Sods law it went on the hottest week of the year when customer wants a cooler shower as at any other time this issuue wouldnt of been noticed!
Is there aa boosting pump i can put on my cold suppy from the tank to increase that pressure upto 0.8bar.
Should add its a gravity system, tank in loft and cylinder in airing cupboard.
Thanks in advance
