Just the last two days it appears my circulation pumps are both stuck on and the pressure relief valve (there appear to be 3) one of which seems to be bypassing water into the tundish....

The temperature seems to be at 57C when it is usually set to 50C...

What's the fault finding process? Never had an issue in 8 years previous, the only thing I can think of recently was draining the heating system to disconnect a rad. But no other issues.

Thoughts please]]>

ASHP to cyl?
Which circuit press relief valve is passing?
Have you tried resetting the relief valve? (sometimes turning the knob forces it to lift and then reseats. Might have to do it a few times till it seats properly).
Is there an auto fill on the circuit that has relieved? What's the pressure on that circuit v's what it should be?]]>

If the HP, suggest you will need a HP engineer.]]> Air source heat pump issues http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17915&Focus=302730#Comment_302730 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17915&Focus=302730#Comment_302730 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 09:38:55 +0100 WillInAberdeen
Fault finding process:
1) is it the hot water, or the central heating system, or both (IE the heatpump)? Two of the safety valves are on the hot water, one on the CH, trace back along the pipe to see which one is over pressure. Turn that system off for a day and see.]]>
