    Welcome, OP. This is the energy board: Gas and electricity prices; solar power; water companies sub-board. I think you may be better posting this query on the "In My Home" section and hope Cardew shows up; he's brilliant at boiler queries.

    Don’t know why so many pumps.
    Check the diverter valve motor on the left hand side. The diverter cartridges leak and give this fault when water gets into the motor
