Ups pump issue
Fairly recently, say 12 months ago, we had a new pump fitted.
It's a grundfos ups3 15- 50/65 130.
(We have a small expansion tank next to the large tank in the loft. So not a sealed system)
After it runs normally for several hours it just stops working. The radiators obviously go cold. But if you turn the timer off and turn it back on again the pump immediately starts working again and radiators warm up. It shows one green light and two Amber ones. I believe that's performance curve 3. Also occasionally I see water coming out of one of the overlow pipes coming out the side of the building.
This problem doesn't happen all the time but it's fairly often. We only know, when it suddenly goes cold in the lounge. Is this a simple issue which I could solve as a keen diyer, or do i need a professional plumber.
