Default Central heating Pump Overrun

It's just been pointed out to me that it will be necessary, of

central heating water flow, otherwise the water will have nowhere to
go!!



That depends on the system design. If it's an S-plan where all the zone
valves will be closed, then yes you need a by-pass. If it's a Y-plan with a
mid-position valve, there is always a path open somewhere - unless *all* the
radiators have TRVs (at least one of which shouldn't have!) and they are all
closed.
