Anybody know how the water pump in disabled shower pan kicks in and drains away as the water is starting to smell in the outlet. We've just moved in so was wondering do you have to run the shower for the pump in the drain to activate

ShaunCorbs

Normally a flow switch on the shower so yes

Many thanks so I guess I need to run the shower for a while

ShaunCorbs

Should switch on within 30 seconds of the shower running

Many thanks for your help

As Shaun says, usually a flow switch feeding the shower but if your getting water sat in the tray after use then the pump over run might need adjusting. What pump is it?

Batman63

That's the thing I don't know where the pump is

Aire

Do you definitely have a pump? Generally they're not the quietest of things so should be easy enough to locate once it's running.

There is electric that runs to the shower and originally when we viewed the house we could here the gargling noise when the shower was turned off for 20 seconds or so

Take a pic of the electrics to the shower and also the shower waste which is holding water.
