Shower runs when toilet or tap used
Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.55 PM
Hello, Whenever we use the taps or flush the toilet in our bathroom, the shower/bath taps run quite a lot. But sometimes to actually use the shower/bath taps when you want to, you have to run the sink taps to get it to start! Any idea how we could fix this while in lockdown? Thank you
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You probably don’t have enough static head to operate a shower. Check for potential air locks, Would recommend fitting A shower pump.
