In all fairness, there wasn't anything wrong with the pump per se; it just needed a little bit of love and de-limescaling.
The plumbing from the shower to the pump, on the other hand, needed a bit more work (and prodding with a stick). I probably didn’t help matters with my over exuberance to get the work done (let’s just say that water was draining into the bilges for a little while).
In the end, Rob bought me this:
Who knew a plunger could be so much fun? And who knew how much limescale grit could get stuck in a plug hole?
This really isn’t an exciting post.
We now have a shower that drains remarkably well though.
Shame we don’t actually have any running hot water.
Ooh, could that be job #3?

Hallo again! Like the 'plunger'!
Don't talk to me about showers. Ours seems to have gone into into tepid only mode ( and it's winter here).
I have found that most of life's little difficulties can be solved either by poking them with a stick or hitting them with a hammer. But I should use the latter carefully if you are actually floating on the object you are hitting.
Hooray Avus informed me you're back. Will follow avidly.

Good to see you

Hello, it's so good to see you again :)
It is a rather snazzy plunger, isn't it?
I feel your shower pain! You never really appreciate hot running water until it's gone. We've had too many winters without it - mind you, the water points always freeze so it's a battle to get any water at all!
I hope you have hot water soon :)

The hammer is mainly used to make me look threatening and every now and again I accidentally drop it and break something. I'm suprised the hubby hasn't taken it off me already!

Pete,
Hello you :)
Where's your blog gone? I looked for it as soon as I got back here and you're post-less.
It's great to see you all again in blog land.
Does Avus know you're spilling the beans on your childhood washing facilities? ;)
X v.
