Hi, I have a stove pumping over into the f&e.

The pump and thermostat both work and the system is free from sludge (very clear for an open vented system).



The layout seems a bit funny to me but the customer reckons its worked for years. (I did spot two vents into the F&E so maybe someone was at it)



The pump flows towards the non return valve, the tee flows to the rads. Its branch should be the stoves gravity circuit. The vent is at the top of that coil so I don't see how the pump wasn't always pumping over but maybe I'm missing something
