Mend Stops Hot Pipe

HOW DO YOU BLEED A POWER SHOWER?

POWER SHOWER PUMP STOPS UNTIL I TAKE HOT EXIT PIPE OFF THEN IT RESTARTS AGAIN UNTIL AIR GETS INTO SYSTEM AGAIN.
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP.

It is important that the hot pipe entering the pump is connected to something. It sounds like your plumber has just placed a length of copper pipe on show and left you to use it. Please check by placing your tougue over the end to check it is wet, or at least wetter than you.

Hope this helps

YOUR HOT WATER PIPE IS CONNECTED WRONG CAUSING AIR TO GET TRAPPED. CONNECT IT HOW IT SHOULD BE TO THE TANK.

Your pump is producing air, which normally means your pipes have a leak or there isn't enough water in your hot tank to allow the pump to flow continuously.

Check you have enough "header" to allow for the pump to work and that your hot tank is big enough to keep the pump going....also check for air gaps in your seals around the pump.
