Should a circulation pump run all the time?
Should a circulation pump run all the time?
The effects of an always-on circulator assembly installation are more even heat and in some cases perhaps improved freeze-resistance for the heating system piping. So depending on where you live and how your heating system is designed and controlled, it may be normal for the circulator pump(s) to run continuously.
What kind of controller does Worcester Bosch boiler use?
The speed control wire (purple, white and black) going to the pump is damaged – check continuity and connection. The boiler has a weather compensating controller fitted (FW100 or Wave smart internet connected controller). The pump will run constantly to monitor the flow temperature and maintain heat curve.
Is the Worcester Bosch highflow 440cdi running constantly?
A couple of weeks ago I had an install of a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDi with the Worcester Wave controller. It might be my imagination, but I think the CH pump runs constantly. Even when it’s been hours since the heating was on, I can hear and feel (near the boiler) the vibration of the pump.
How to stop the boiler from running in hot weather?
The only solution to stop the internal pump (circulating to the low loss header) running continuously during hot weather was to switch another resistor across the outside weather comp sensor….ie. to make the boiler think the temperature is really hot outside. The software then finally realises it’s futile to run the pump.
Why is my water pump always running on my boiler?
If the pump is always running, there are generally 3 causes for this: The speed control wire (purple, white and black) going to the pump is damaged – check continuity and connection. The boiler has a weather compensating controller fitted (FW100 or Wave smart internet connected controller).

Why does Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30 CDI circulating pump always run?
I reckon something causes a blockage which stops the heat from dissipating and keeps the pump running on max. You could try turning the boiler off at the mains for an hour to cool it down and then repower and see if its still apparently running the pump. If so it could think that it needs to provide pump over run.
How can I troubleshoot my Worcester CBI boiler?
Use the troubleshooting table or fault finding flowcharts below to identify your Worcester CBi fault and troubleshoot either a solution or replacement part. The Worcester Bosch fault finding table below will help you diagnose your boiler’s fault and help you take the next decision in fixing the issue.
How to troubleshoot a Worcester Bosch water pump?
Pump has run dry. Check system pressure, add water and bleed system as necessary. Hot water NTC Sensor defective. Check hot water NTC sensor and connecting lead for circuit breaks/short circuits. Insert code plug correctly, test and replace if necessary. Fan speed too low.
