Shower Pump Pulsing

    I have a Newteam Jetforce 75 and it has started pulsing of its own accord. Its running 2 showers and still works fine when we turn on the shower. Is this just wear and tear and a new pump is required or is it fixable?

    Help appreciated

    You may have a leak on the line or air. this would cause the flow switch to move and activate pump.

    ..just a quik addition, if there are filters ( there should be ) and they are blocked or partly, then that can give the same symptoms.

    Not sure on Jetforce, if its a plastic body pump now that its acting up best bin pump and replace with either Stuart Turner or Grunfos, both those pumps are sold body brass / stainless and can withstand constant hot water use.

    Plastic body pumps can be tempremental when it comes to hot water, eventually they break down, nothing last for ever but I find soild pumps will far outlast plastic.

    Check all the obvious stuff first, supply pipework filters can become blocked more so when cold water storage tanks happen to empty, could be mesh filter blocked, both located @ supply connections.

    One of the showers is dripping quite a bit. Would this cause it to kick in briefly
