Hi all. Hope you can help. I have an issue with a shower pump and want to move it. Currently the pump draws hot water from the top of the cylinder before the pipe tees off to the taps and the vent. I believe this has caused the pump to burn out as it will draw air in before the air has has vented. I have got a new shower pump but want to move the pipework before I fit it. Can I draw the water from the feed pipe after the the vent pipe tees off up to the cwsc in the loft or will it still draw air ?Alternatively I'll fit an s flange but it will mean more jiggling about in the airing cupboard. Your help and advice will be much appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you need a different fitting in the top of the cyclinder (there are different ones), what does the pump manufacture request.
