For reasons best known to herself Mrs Compton and sister decided to drain the whole domestic water system in order to change a dripping tap. As a consequence the electric pump that powers two showers now works fine with one but stops after a minute or two when the other shower is on. Any ideas? Anyone recommend a loclal (Bishops Stortford) plumber.
I will not be replying to any smart arse remarks regarding why I didn't do it in the first place or get someone else in etc etc.
I thankyou in advance

I'm not a plumber but I know that if you run 2 power showers for any length of time they will soon drain your tank.
Once your tank drains the pump will switch off to stop it over heating.
It could be that simple. Are you having longer showers than usual because of the weather? Have you given your tank time to fill up since draining it off? They do take a little while.
You might find that just leaving it a while to fill up will fix everything.
Or you might not.
did you ever think of ringing a plumber??

sounds like an air lock in the feed to the 2nd shower or by draining you could have dislodged some limescale that is now affecting the shower(unlikely though)
is the shower on a fixed head or slider rail?
is a twin feed pump i.e Hot and Cold supplies or thermostatically controlled water that is pumped often used by the elderly and senile to avoid the risk of scalding.
and do you have a tank in the loft?
I'll be back in 1 hour
BTW just because you replace a washer it doesn't always remedy the problem as sometimes you need to re-seat the tap.
