This question is regarding Stuart Turner Showermate 1.4 Bar Twin 1.2 Bar Single 1.8 Bar Twin Special Export Pump Spares

Pump not always operating.

The motor doesn't always start unless banged or shaken. When it does start it runs fine. Obviously the casing gets hot when it fails to start. I suspect the brushes in the motor or possibly the bearings. I remember an old central heating pump that did the same and I had to replace that. The pump is about 4 years old.

You shouldn’t be having problems with this pump if it is only 4 years old.

Are you sure that there is sufficient flow through the pump to start it ?

It doesn’t have brushes so it can’t be them, could something have got into the pump that could be causing it to stick?
