Pump Full Of Grime – If your pump is full of grime, this may be due to not giving the central heating system a power flush. It may be a good idea to call a central heating technician to check that there is no loose connections. No Power to the pump can be that the central heating is not calling for the pump to turn on or a fuse has gone, somewhere within your central heating wiring. If you get more than 30-years out of your central heating pump, then you have done extremely well (Give your central heating pump a pat on the back).

There is also a wire going around the central heating pump.
