What happens if your shower pump gets too cold?
Yes, a shower pump is just like any other piping system in your home – if it gets too cold it will end up freezing. This can be really damaging for a shower pump, and it should never be allowed to get too cold. As we mentioned earlier in this FAQ, installing insulation around the pump should help to prevent freezing and rapid temperature drops.
Why does the shower get hot or cold when you flush?
If the cold water flow is reduced (due to a toilet flush), the valve automatically adjusts the amount of hot water being mixed. This keeps the shower temperature more consistent, even when other fixtures are using water.
What should I do if my shower pump freezes?
You will need to ensure that the electric and water supply is switched off before giving the pump a thorough clean. Just like other pipes in your home, during a cold winter, a shower pump is likely to freeze. Take the time to warm the cold feed pipe to ensure ice doesn’t cause damage to the shower pump.
