Default Pump overrun

Do you mean when the boiler is switched off by the programmer? Older
systems will often have the pump running while the boiler cycles. On those
the two aren't really interdependent - the pump is controlled by the room
stat while the boiler by its own.

Does anyone know, if I purchase a new programmer, if this has the pump
overrun facility on it or do I have to find the fault, "solenoid or
relay?" in the original Timer/programmer.


Pump overrun devices are usually part of the boiler rather than programmer.

Of course Servowarm tended to have a mind of their own. ;-)
