Hi there,
I’m hoping someone can help me with this problem please. I’ve searched for similar posts but not found anything helpful! My mum’s house has a pump which pulses on and off every time a tap is opened. Even filling the bath (pressure is strong) the pump won’t come on and stay on but...
Hi
I have a Potterton Heatmax Combi 28 HE that was installed in 2014.
Over the past year or so it has slowly had more trouble heating distant radiators.
It was serviced in February 2022 and given a clean bill of health, however since then it now only heats the two nearest radiators and at a...
Hi guys, we moved into a place last Dec with an old Grant Euroflame oil boiler with 4 pipes, one set with a Grundfos pump on it and the other set running upstairs to a HW cylinder. We've never been able to get HW generated from the boiler for a sustained period, the water doesn't seem to flow...
Scottish Power fitted new pump and claim fault in the tank?? Scottish Power engineer claims fault with sensor in tank however the central heating pump switches off when rads at temp. A Bastian pump was fitted in place of the Grunfos one - I've insisted he returns to fit a Grundfos one as I...

Hello everyone.
Could someone please advise on a fix for this annoying problem?
I have a shower pump feeding our master ensuite which occasionally pulses once the tap or shower is turned off. This will continue to pulse until you turn the tap back on and the REALLY slowly turn it off. Or as my...
Hi all, new to this forum and hoping to find some advice on my Grant Vortex 26 external combi boiler,
Basically the heat exchanger sprang a leak, dripping on to the terminal box of the hot water pump below causing a short. I replaced the pump and the fibre washers on the heat exchanger, problem...

Hi,
I have just moved into a house that has been empty for 3 months. The shower and bath are fed from a shower pump (Wickes 2 bar 410036 unit). When I went to use the shower, the pump would not start. It just made a humming noise and there was an odour coming from it. I tried turning on both the...
Called to look at a problem on a pumped system today. House is well off the beaten track with a very poor mains pressure and flow. only the kitchen sink is on the mains. The rest are fed from a storage tank in the roof space of a single storey extension via a Grundfos MQ3-35 pump. This feeds an...
Hi
I have cut into existing shower pump pipes to add another shower while an ensuite shower is isolated.
The new shower is a traditional one with a. rigid outlet. The problem is that the pump only kicks in when the bathroom taps are turned on. It works fine if you disconnect the inlet pipes...
Hi there I have been to a job with a shower pump issue. The property is a town house and the cylinder and single impeller negative shower pump is installed on the first floor. They have a bathroom on the first and second floor. Basically when they used the hot water the pump would kick in and...
Hi guys!

I would really appreciate some help as I have had to switch it...
Hello all, I have installed a showerforce 3 bar pump in my bathroom due to lack of water pressure. The pump works really well and pumps out great. The only thing is that when the pump is not in use (plugged in) it switches on and off constantly unless I switch it off. This is a real pain, as...

Help!!
I have just replaced a worn out shower pump with an equivalent spec pump: Wickes 1.5bar twin impeller, in a conventional gravity fed hot water system.
I thought it would be a straightforward swap, but having been through all listed trouble shooting tips and checked for air locks, correct...

Boiler is a Glowworm Micron on a S plan.
Both zone valves were replaced last weekend as they were leaking through the valve body but this was a existing problem.

I have a DAB circulating pump attached to horizontal pipes in my basement. It is located about 3 feet below the boiler, and on the floor underneath it are 2 old Grundfos pumps. From this I deduce that the previous owners have had pump problems in the past. The reason I had to check it out is the...

Hi oldplumber
I have just read your thread and thought you could help me please. Getting training of plumbing and gas safe through training centers is worthwhile or a waste of time as I have discovered in Goggle tonight? There are all negative comments about these centers, otherwise at age 55...
