Lost power to one of the showers in the house

v0ldeMort

Just wondering if you have any suggestions before I spend $$$ on a plumber!

2 pump-powered showers in house, pump also comes on for taps in bathroom sinks etc. Shower in ensuite is not working, it had a trickle of hot water from tank (nothing from cold) before water stopped coming altogether. Same thing happened the previous time I put on the shower but I ran the other shower just to see was it working and then the ensuite one kicked in. But not this time.

Shower in main bathroom running fine, as is taps. Pump kicks in for these. Pump does not kick in for ensuite shower, completely dead.

Any ideas?

So if you get the pump running (by turning on taps or working shower), leave this tap/shower on and then turn on the problematic shower - is there any flow there at all?

no, just the slightest trickle!

Interesting. That would seem to discount the pump.

Is it a thermostatic shower? A photo would be good if you can supply.

Disconnect the hose from the dodgy shower, then try run it. This will eliminate a blocked shower head or a kinked/damaged hose.
