Hi All
I just moved into a house with a 20 year old conventional central heating system (Potterton Suprima 40L, Hot water cylinder , Cold water tank in the loft, Myson CP53 pump)
Last weekend the Myson pump seized causing the boiler to go into lockout everytime it was switched on. After looking at the Internet, I removed the black cap on the pump and turned the screw to loosen it. It worked again after that.
I did notice that there was black water coming out of the pump , some noise when the pump is running, and it is running a little hot.
What would be the best course of action ..(If it were you, what would you do)
- Replace the pump with a new , more reliable one (groundfos?)
- Replace the pump and powerflush the system to remove sludge
- Forget about the Potterton and replace the whole boiler and system with a Combi
