Type - Stuart Turner Showermate Twin Impeller 1.4 bar. I don t know
how old it is as we inherited it with house 4 years go.
Symptoms - pump will sometimes not operate immediately especially
when hot water taps turned on but will come on after a few
minutes. Pump will carry on working for a few minutes
after taps or shower turned off. Sometimes pump will come
on of own accord without any taps or shower being turned on
Thoughts - as you might have guessed I think there is something not quite
right with pipe connections. Plumber has just cut into hot water
pipe that runs from hot water cylinder and feeds rest of house
and connected pump inlet to it and then run the pump hot
water outlet back into same pipe. Has done the same with cold
water pipe that runs from cistern in loft. So basically apart
from cold water tap in kitchen ( mains ) everything ; taps
toilet and appliances is running through the pump.
Is this right and the pump is just malfunctioning or knackered
it did work for first two years or so, and I just need to
replace it?
Do I need a different type of pump but can keep the pipe
configuration?
Or something else?
