    Default plumming question

    My pump seems to be a bit touchy today, bath and taps work fine but when I use the shower off mixer taps the pump stalls and only spurts out water and stops, bath is running fine full pressure also

    Any ideas?

    I'd say you gave bit dirt caught in the mixer taps,
    Leave it run for few mintues pressure might free it up if not take off the shower head clean it too

    That make some sense, when the bath running freely its has me baffled, the pump sounds loud but fine then
    But when I pull up the leaver for the shower its starts stalling pump sounds like its stops and starts
    I'd presume the shower and bath same tap it be same pipe going in anyway

    It's all plumbed into one it's just grit caught somewhere just let it run hopefully it will blow itself out eventyally

    You are sure you have a plumbing system that has a pump?
