    Toilet flushing issue
    When I flush the toilet, the pump will not engage immediately, and the toilet will begin to refill with a slow dripping for about a minute and then pump kicks in.. This is same in all bathrooms.. I usually put tap on to kick start pump.. ANy ideas would be gratefully appreciated

    Kind regards

    Are you talking about a ejector system that services the entire house? Back to you, Tom

    Hi Tom

    Thanks for respnse

    Im sorry but I don't know what an ejector is..
    The pump kicks in whenever hot water is used or when toilets are flushed.

    If you are referring my "TAP" comment, I am talking about the tap for washing hands.. Is that clear?

    Why on earth would the pump kick on when hot water is used? We need way more info to be of any assistance.
