Hi, my house has a water pump for better pressure, as our mains was poor - recently it's very slow triggering on the top (3rd) floor bathroom - hot & cold sink taps, shower and toilet cistern. sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes to kick in, with nothing coming out of taps while waiting! It used to work fine, brief tap run for a few seconds, then the pump would kick in, fed from hot and cold tanks.
The pressure controller is a slightly older version of this:

the lights all come on ok etc and it works downstairs. i started to open the "gherkin" shaped part on top to investigate (it's part 4 on the side in the newer model in the pdf above), but water leaked out, it must be a small reservoir (to prevent dry running, leak compensation?) and now it's running poorly downstairs as well, takes a minute or so to kick in!
Could the controller be the culprit, and should i re-fill that part that leaked?
Or could it be an air-lock somewhere on 3rd floor? (and I still need to re-fill that part that leaked!?)
Thanks,
Alan
