Shower Cord Switch Challenge.

Has anyone ever had customers complaining that they find it impossible to operate 45/50 Amp. ceiling shower cord switches. They just haven't got the strength.

Was was your solution?

  • It sounds like the pump has not been programmed and calibrated by the installers.

    Either the pump is connected to the shower by a hardwired or Bluetooth connection or it is connected to a flow sensor in the water feed pipe, either way the shower tells the pump when it is turned on and off, starting and stopping it as required.

    However the pump needs setting up and calibrating to the water flow, also the over run needs adjusting to allow for the water to drain down to the waste outlet. Then most pumps restart briefly after a few minutes to remove any remaining water.

    Turning the shower off using the pull cord is not correct and will eventually cause problems, the pump needs sorting out.

    It is possible to install a momentary pull cord to restart the pump, which I have done to resolve specific problems, it’s not in the AKW instructions but I had a chat with their technical guys and they said it’s okay to do it,  but generally this is not needed.
