[quote="greengrass"]Thanks for replying but No toneyt it's a Grundfos pump red colour similar, or maybe, the same type that was fitted to my central heating in my previous house. Here its just for circulation of hot water to taps.
I'm thinking 'Pressure switch' in the pump, if it has then the cable feeding power to the pump should in theory be 'permanent live '.
Testing the cable from the control panel to the pump it gives no current reading whether hot taps are on or not.
My Theory now is if there is a pressure switch in the pump then something has gone wrong with the control panel pump connection hence no power. The tester works as I've tried it on known live cables..
Managed to see whats on pump with aid of mirror Grundfos selectric ups 15-50 it feeds the hot water out to taps and obivously only runs when hot taps operated, But now nothing. IF it has a pressure switch inside the pump then I would assume the current in the cable would be permanent and swich operates to complete circuit to pump motor when a hot tap is turned on. As above no current at all registers in cable. Some one said as there are two pump one is fighting the other and ones burnt out. They can't fight one another as they are on a seperate circuit and the hot water pump in my opinion could not sludge up, lime up maybe but sludge would show in the hot water throughout the system so every time a tap was turned on, pump working or not sludge would show in the water but its clear.
