Power Shower Problem

Oct 26, 2010 3 Replies

When my som finished taking a shower this evening he turned off the water but the pump still runs. I have to switch the pump off from the spur box in the airing cupboard.



I assume that there is some sort of pressure switch??? Are faulty parts easily replaced or a is this a new shower unit. It is about 10 years old.

Sounds like it...

What make and model? The well known brands usually carry spares for quite some years.

Here can be a good place to look for spares:

Mine started running (with the water off) while we were out - and destroyed itself. If it is a Mira, the power to the motor is switched by a microswitch - but the microswitch drives a triac - and motor brush carbon can give enough conductivity to self start (my guess). Take the cover off and have a look.

It is an Aqualisa. I phoned them and they do a service replacement. I just have to check the model that I have.
