A shower connected to a wastewater pump drains slowly

A slow shower can involve its own trap or the connected pumping system. The behaviour of other connected fixtures helps locate the enquiry.

Compare fixtures

Say whether a basin or toilet using the same unit still clears normally. Include whether the pump starts while shower water collects.

Keep model identity

Not every wastewater pump is a toilet macerator. Give the actual model and connected fixtures so the enquiry is screened correctly. Do not add chemicals to force drainage through an uncertain restriction.

A useful distinction

A shower can drain slowly before enough water reaches the pump to start it. Describe the pump response and water level separately so a shower-trap enquiry is not automatically treated as a failed wastewater unit.
