Hello
Looking for a bit of advise before next step.
Moved in earlier this year. House is 4 bed, 1 bathroom 2 ensuites.
Extension has 1 of the ensuites which has a shower pump lovating in the loft above.
I’ve attached a basic,but hopefully clea, diagram of how the shower/pump is plumbed in.
Shower is a mira excell pre 2003
Pump is wickes twin impeller 1.5 bar.
Recently i’ve been having problem with the shower not getting hot, warm-ish but not comfortable enough for a shower. Even when turned right up.
I have 2 questions.
1) Is the problem with my shower the pump (which is quite noisy) or the showers thermostat?
- i’d like to add that the pipe after the pump does seem hot/warm when running.
2) i’d like to replace the pump with something quieter. Looking at the way its plumbed in and installation instructions on other pump models, i get then impression it’s not been done correctly. Can someone confirm if this the case?
Apologies for the long thread, I appreciate you reading and your replies.
