Hi- I have a powerful pump in my flat (which was put in as the water pressure was so low). The pump worked great for around 2 years, but for the past year has noisily switched itself on every 15mins or so, even if no water is being drained from the system (it makes a loud noise for around 5 seconds, like it does whenever the water's running continuously). The overflow is working so it’s not due to the water level dropping. I started switching it off at night coz it was keeping me awake.
Now the really odd thing- when I switch it off overnight, the cold taps run hot in the morning for a bit, and the toilet fills with very very hot water (like a radiator). I’m concerned the hot water’s going to damage the ballcock etc.
I am looking for a plumber to come and try to work out what's causing the pump to switch itself on and why hot water gets circuited into the cold during the night.
I am located in SE16. Can do any day- preferably the start of the day/towards the end of the day as I will need to take time off work.
Many thanks
