Shower Pumps

Air can build up in a pump installation over time and when not used regularly. It can cause a variety of issues that are often blamed on the pump. However, a simple air test can clear out your installation and solve the issue - at no extra cost!

  • pump pulsing
  • pump running on
  • excessive noise
  • temperature fluctuation

If your installation is suffering with any of the above, it would be worth running the air test to eliminate air as a fault cause.

Complete an air test!

Follow these instructions to remove air from your pump installation.

1. Turn off pump.

2. Remove shower head from hose.

3. Let hose hang into bath or shower tray.

4. Turn the temperature to full cold.

5. Turn the shower on and run for 5 minutes.

6. Turn the temperature to full hot and run for a further 5 minutes.

7. Turn off the shower.

8. Wait at least 20 minutes.

9. Re-power the pump and turn on the shower to test.


A one time or repeated air test could solve your pump installation woes. Or you could try our Installation Fault Finder for other targeted solutions.
