hello
i'm looking for advice from expert plumbers. i had a new combi boiler installed and then a major leak. turns out that the plumber didn't remove the power shower pump. he says 'it was under the bath how could i have known' which seems a bit cavalier to me. so my question: would a plumber doing a proper job check what they were connecting the new high pressure water from the boiler to? and should they check for something like a shower pump?
thanks!

He should have really asked you if you had any power shower or pump set up, but you should have also informed him.
Pumps should not be below baths

I hate to say this but you obviously knew it was there, so why didn’t you tell the installer ....
 
Every plumber should have a personal checklist for each thing they install from a loo to a boiler. I started doing this years ago and it gives me peace of mind. Now did I remember to use an olive in that fitting........ :)
