Shower pump doesn't switch off.

[oilman]

Right, I've searched the forum but haven't found this one, (and I aren't a plumber).

The pump switches on ok when the taps are opened, but when the taps are closed the pump doesn't always switch off. I think its a Newway pump, (equivalent sold at B&Q so obviously a cheapy).


Has anyone come across this problem, and is there a fix?

Is there a reliable, but not expensive make?

newteam
oilman you could always try fitting a remote flow switch
(not sarcasam btw) boiler stat etc

 

[oilman]

Ah, I got the name wrong, the faulty unit IS a Newteam, I haven't come across a flow switch to cope with the flow rate.

 

[kevplumb]
