As above, installed new boiler and pump. Grundfos 15-60. When the pump stops water shoots out of the open vent. It is configured correctly, when it first happend I thought the cf could be partially blocked so I renewed it to no avail. Open vent was at least 300mm above the tank. I know it should be higher but it doesnt normally cause this problem

Any Ideas what could be causing it?
 
Is the pump over run working correctly? The pump should run on for at least five minutes.
 
3 speedfit unions and a bit of pipe in your pocket. Tell them you left your new knipex in the loft :smile:
 
Its a bit harder to hide the blowlamp flux and solder in yer pockets and they will hear you rumping a compression up lol
 
But on a serious note, rare for me I know. Don't speed fit only seal on positive pressure?
