Advice on Shower/Pump Issues

    Hi,

    I'm sick to my stomach here & hoping someone can offer some advice! Brief background is I had a bathroom & ensuite gutted and completely redone in 07/08 to the tune of about €6-7K, local business etc, who I have not heard very bad things about.

    Electric shower in bathroom, and pumped rain shower in ensuite. Its a very hard water area & I've been putting issues down to that in the past but I've just had to replace the electric shower (which has come to over €400) and there are major problems with the pump & ensuite so have had a reputable company look at that also and I am looking at another BIG outlay.

    So, Apparently the system is a mess, was done very very badly. The pump is on the floor of the hotpress and is pretty banjoed! Now a lot of this is over my wee head so bear with me: Apparently its a positive head pump and should be a negative, the impellor is warped apparently because the water going in is too hot, the cold feed from the attic is in 1/2 inch instead of 3/4 inch pipe and a number of other things which I couldn't take in as I was too horrified at the cost of replacing it with a pos head pump (€660 just for the pump :eek:) before any additional valves, plumbing etc.

    Apparently its been plumbed very badly so I can't get rid of the pump and just go back to a normal shower as it would have to be re-plumbed and would probably cost me more. Putting in an electric would be about €1200+)

    And now the best bit . . . the bloody house is rented cos its one of those nice neg equity properties :mad:

    Any advice for me? Apart from hand the keys back to the bank and run for the hills :o
