I fitted a Showermate Standard Twin to replace an old pump that had failed. The new pump had been purchased some five years earlier and not used. The pump sits at the end of the bath on the floor and I used some Hep20 pl astic pipe and 90 degree fittings to connect up. Cold supply is from a tank in the loft and hot from the CH fed hot water cylinder which sits on the s ame floor as the pump. Hot and cold are pumped. The pump ran perfectly for around six months but over the last couple, the pump has become noisy and fails to pump water until several seconds after I turn on the shower mixer. Usually after a couple of 'hiccups' it runs steadily delivering a good show er and with normal noise levels. I have taken photos of the installation but I cannot see how to post them. I could put them on a hosting site if useful.
