Well guys, i got my little shower pump to work, by raising the CWSC. But the strange thing is, i was getting a good flow through the shower head with the cold, but now, i am not getting much from the cold and a good flow with the hot. And they are basically the same height, well, cold feed a little higher than the shower feed. And also, the pump just runs constantly.

So, there must be something up with the flow switch. Could something be stuck? Or blocked?

Am so close to getting this one finished, but you seem to gain a step, and then go back one. So solve one problem, but then create another.

I know i am so close to receiving my pay check!!!

Cheers guys
 
check cold inlet to shower pump, might of blocked when draining the tank (if this is what you did),
when shower pump is disconnected, trying turning upside down and bak again as the salamander ones have a reset switch on some of them.
 
check the filter in the pump or showers not blocked,make sure the ballvalve is not above the cold feed outlet in the tank this can cause air to enter the pump
 
hey thanks guys, all is working. It seems that the pump just needed resetting by turning it upside down. Then i just disconnected the cold feed to pump on the outlet side and opened it up into a bucket and got rid of a bit of air and all is fine and dandy.

Thanks for all the help fellers

Regards
