    Firebird 90 - hot water pump runs continuous

    Sorry it's been a while, Update on the boiler as follows. New stat fitted, pump now runs all the time as before! Tapping this stat does nothing. Removing the copper phail from the boiler stat pocket stops the pump so it is sensing an overheat in the boiler which triggers the stat to run the...

    Firebird 90 - hot water pump runs continuous
