shower pump

[Softus]

i think that you will find that the purpose of this forum is to give helpful advice and not to give sarcastic comments! and i would of thought that if you are replying to posts in a PLUMBERS forum the it might help if you had some knowledge of the particular profession!

I wonder if this principle applies to you too - you seem to be writing in English, and yet you have a sketchy knowledge of spelling and grammar.

so how many essex flanges have you fitted?

I've no idea - I don't keep count.

If your cupboard isn't compatible with fitting a pump, then don't fit a pump. You can't make a silk purse out a sow's ear.

please read my posts properly before you decide to comment. i did state that the pump was fitted in the loft space!

Read your own posts - the pump hasn't been installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and you claim that you can't because of lack of space in your cupboard. So either fit the pump correctly, AND all of the pipework, or don't use a pump.

One of the most amusing things about what you've done is that you were warned about it months ago, viz:

You're right. It'll work, a bit. You need a manual air vent to get the air out first time you fill it. Going up and over makes no difference whatsoever if you take the feed from the right area(ie not off the vent pipe) except for the resistance of the length of pipe.

But the HEAD is likely to be a problem - if it's only from the floor above the shower, the flow will be poor. If you use big pipes and a suitable low pressure shower, it can be reasonable.

Did you pay any attention to all to the help you apparently hold in such high regard?

And look at this topic:

...where you were quite happy to ask questions, but gave no feedback on whether or not you were successful. Not much respect there for the help that you say is the whole point of the forum, hmm?

a very accurate, comprehensive, but unnecessary quote

I'm a member of the forum to (a) learn from other people, and (b) give advice to other people. You seem to be beyond help, but I'll have another go...

please please please DO NOT comment unless you are trying to be constuctive, (pretty please)

Well then, read and understand this:

Remove the pump, that you should never have installed, and that you installed wrongly, and install a venturi shower, which you should have done in the first place.

i give up!

Does that mean that you're going to listen to the advice you've been given, or that you're going to follow the MI's, or that you're just going to put up with a p*ss poor shower installed by an amateur?

it means that i give up trying to get through to you that ive come on here for advice and not your very poor sarcasim! i have had some very good advice off other members but not a single scrap from you!
so, i will be working through the advice given to me by the other members and will remember to always ignore anything you have to say.
so, like i said , go and humour yourself with another topis and another forum........ you might find a forum called Sarcasimnot.com!

Not so - you've pretty much ignored all the advice you've been given from everyone, seemingly because you want a simple solution to the problem that you've created, but you won't do what you've been advised. By all means ignore me - I couldn't care less - but I recommend that you start listening to ChrisR and Balenza.

One day, and it won't be very soon unfortunately, you'll realise that you were wrong.

I'm a patient man...
