Aqualisa Power Shower sounds like vacuum cleaner

[paralucent]

Our 15-year-old Aquastream Aqualisa power shower has recently become really noisy, like a vacuum cleaner. Does this mean the pump is on its way out, or are there any other possible explanations?

I'd rather not replace it right now because my boiler will probably have to be replaced in the next few years and AIUI a thermostatic shower wouldn't be compatible with the latest combi boilers.

I already invited two plumbers to have a look at the shower but neither of them turned up!

Sounds like the pumps on its way out have changed a few not to bad to door hour tops

Thanks - will try again to find someone to fit a new one.

Spoke to another plumber on the phone - and he suggested a faulty valve could be to blame?
