New aqualisa shower pump

Although their customer service department have given me a diagnostic test to try (to see if there is an airlock), it is very likely that we need a new pump for our Aqualisa Aquastream power shower. Aqualisa themselves charge £80 inc VAT for the pump and then another £70 inc VAT to fit it. Can't see it costing me much less to get a plumber to do it - does anyone know if this is likely to be bettered? Thanks.

    Hi

    I.M.O. I would go with Aqualisa. They should check the whole installation to see if there are any problems that contributed to the breakdown and save you having to go through the whole problem again in the future.
    You might not get that from a cheaper quote.

    remove the shower head, put your mouth around the pipe and suck like you've never sucked before!!

    I had a watermill pump that was diagnosed as busted but after doing the above just once, it worked!
    Keep smiling, G.
