Got to look at a system which is discharging out of the open vent.

Any tips, hints?

Gonna check f&e/pump connection locations.
Pump speed.
System water quality for indication of blockage.
Worth cutting out the feed tee to check for blockage?

Any others?
 
Assuming someone has not stuck in a 7mt pump running flat out check
pipework layoutI
If its pumping over and water going straight back in system probably cold feed clear.
