    When having a shower for eg. the pump and pressure will be high for about 10seconds then drop as pump flicks off for 5 seconds before flicking back on again. It does this all the time when taps being ran.
    After some time the pump will start again.
    Any idea what could be wrong with the pump or how can be fixed ?
    Pump photo attached..

    Does it do this whether you run the shower full hot or cold?
    Are the taps, both hot and cold etc affected the same way?

    If it only happens on the use of cold water, then either the cold water to the pump or from the pump is restricted in some way, or the flow switch or float on the pump is broken, or else the printed circuit board needs replacing.
