    Hi all,

    In 2006 when we built our house we put in an Aqualisa Aquastream in our en suite. Now in 2013 its given up the ghost and its died:(

    We can't afford to spend another 275 on a new unit so i'm lookikng for options.

    Should we replace the pump ( i think its the pump as water is still coming out but at roughly the same pressure as the taps ) or buy a cheaper unit from another brand.

    If we change to a different brand will there be a problem with the existing plumbing etc ???

    In a word............HELP

    If you can get an aqualisa for 275 I'd go with that one. Last time I checked they were near 400

    Always worth checking filters. You'd be amazed how clogged theyd be

    They are also an excellent pump.

    Sorry the full new unit will cost 575 my bad for putting down 275.

    If i turn on the current unit there's no noise, just the normal tap pressure is coming out.

    As far as I know parts for those are readily available
