Hi Looking for some pointers to an issue we have with a brand new power
shower that worked for a week, then started spluttering and has now stopped.


Background

Had loft converted last summer, thus and now have a slightly smaller cold
water tank inside a fitted wardrobe in the former loft.

All seemed fine but old power shower on the second shower (usually my shower,
after the Missus) would start to make funny sounds from the pump and then
go very hot, before recovering.

Thought nothing of it but it packed up completley just wurring and not water,
not good sign.

So bought new power shower, go that fitted, worked fine but now wurring back
and no water, dare not use now save burning out the pump.

In mean time used our second shower in second ensuite, and have same issue
there, first shower fine and the wurring noise.

Might be coincdence but never had issue until cold water tank moved.

Any ideas?

Is is a feed issue from cold water tank,

is it an airlock issue? if so what causes it?

Can this be fixed?

Help!

how much water is in the tank L X W X Depth?

does the tank feeding the hot water cylinder?

does the tank also supplying cold to either/both showers?

is the tank emptying quicker than the mains can refill it? so on
shower#2 you have an empty tank and the pump then cannot pump any more
water and is running "dry" and then knackering?
