If I fit an indirect cylinder with a secondary return pump fitted to an Essex flange and then fit another essex flange to supply a pump for a shower, will the secondary return pump affect the flow switch on the shower?, i.e. will this cause the shower pump to kick in when their is no demand?.
 
Not if they are seperate circuits. Flow switch is only activated by drawing off from the shower pump.
