A step-by-step guide to fitting a shower pump
Step 1: Electrically isolate your pump
Turn off the electricity supply and remove the fuse. With your electrical tester, test the pump to make sure it is isolated. Repeat this process to ensure your electricity is isolated.
Step 2: Remove the electric wires from your shower pump
Using a screwdriver, remove the electrical wiring.
Step 3: Turn off the hot and cold-water supply
It is very important to turn off the hot and cold-water supply to ensure your home does not flood with water.
Step 4: Remove the water connection and the old pump
Unscrew the water connection. If some leftover water spills out use your bucket and towels to catch the water to avoid flooding. Now remove the old shower pump.
Step 5: Install your new shower pump
Flush the pipework to get rid of any rubbish. Connect the hot and cold-water feed pipes to the pump following the instructions supplied with your specific shower pump.
Step 6: Plumb your new shower pump
Remove any debris by running a bucket of water through the hot and cold-water feed pipes. Keep the water running until there is no sign of debris and your water is completely transparent / clear. Then, reconnect the connection hoses to the pump.
Step 7: Reconnect the wires and turn on your electric
Reconnect the wires to your new pump, that you previously undid to remove your old pump, then turn on the electric and you should be good to go.
