Not put the pump in the system correctly, he should of connected to the stored water source for the cold not the mains cold.

Negativie / positive head Basin etc. taps lower than the shower head. Correct Rocky  he doesn't have enough head pressure at the shower head to activate the pump, if it has a flexi shower hose lower it in to the shower tray then switch it on, the pump will recognise flow and kick in. |

Not air battle but the non return valves are part of the cure, which side of the pump would you fit them ?

Always on the output side so the pump can vent back if needed, but what causes it to hunt ?
