 RCD/Shower Pump Question - Marc
Hi all, I have one of these :

www.greenbrook.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=H92WP-C

connected to a Stuart Turner Monsoon shower pump in my airing cupboard which drives two showers and the bath. Yesterday the circuit tripped. Tried resetting with the switch but it just clicks out.

Water pressure activates the pump. If I leave the bath running and gently release the switch the pump kicks in OK (meaning the pump is OK - it should be as the capacitor was only replaced less than a year ago) but it won't 'stay' on its own, it just clicks itself off when I release it.

I've also tried to reset the switch with just the water off and also with all power off via the fusebox. Surely with the power off the RCD should reset itself?

I suspect the RCD switch is at fault and I can buy a like for like replacement for £30 from Screwfix. Should I try this before calling an electrician?

Thoughts please.

Thanks.
