The pump will not start. What can I do?

FAQ Header Image (The shower pump will not start. What can I do?)

There are a few simple checks you can perform to see if there is an easy fix when your shower pump won’t start.

Firstly, make sure that the power supplying the pump hasn’t tripped out as a result of the pump running dry.

Then, check that there are no blockages in any of the inlet or outlet pipes, which might be preventing water from reaching the pump.

If all else fails, reset the pump by turning off the power for a short while before turning it back on.
