Water pump and hot water tap problem

    Hi,
    I've checked a lot of threads but couldn't find anything similar to my problem. I have a stuart turner negative water pump. It worked ok until this morning. When I ran cold water is no problem but when I use a tap with hot water in the toilet sink and kitchen sink the pump goes on and off and the water flows changes from high pressure to low pressure. I don't know if it's an airlock somewhere or the pump is a problem. I tried turning on the both taps without the pump and it didn't help. I am afraid doing so with the pump on in case it burns out. Do you have any idea what could be a problem here? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sounds like the flow switch on the hot outlet of your pump

    Would this be expensive to repair? I just paid 350e to get the limescale removed from one part and I wonder if it's wise to keep investing in this pump:-( At the moment the pump doesn't turn off at all so it looks like the both flow switches are faulty. Is there any shop in Dublin with spare parts for Stuart Turner pumps?
