IVT greenline HT Plus E - Circulation Pump Constantly On
Hi, I moved into a new house 6 months ago with an IVT Greenline HT Plus E. I have gone on a big learning curve to optimise usage. Including managing the temperature, enabling wi-fi (using husdata), managing the hot water. That has brought bills down a lot. But the radiator pump is constantly on (even when heating is off) and I’m not sure why. Is this to make sure pipes don’t clog up? Or is this something I can/should turn off? Many thanks
Welcome to the forums.
Irrespective of which brand you have, the circulation pump running constantly when heating is off is not normal. It shouldn’t stay on in standby and that’s not an intentional “anti-clog feature”.
A few questions:
- If you turn the controller to “off” (not standby) does the circulation pump still remain on?
- When the unit is in standby, what does Husdata show for the heating circuit pump status?
- Is this the original pump inside the heat pump unit, or has an extra one been added? I’m assuming there’s a buffer tank.
