Hi.
I have a Grundfos Constant Pressure System with SQE pump installed in 2006. About a year ago we experienced problems with the pump/system when the pump wouldn't stop running. We lived with it until about a month ago when I saw my electricity bill!! I got in touch with the contractor who drilled our borehole and installed the pump. Gave the symptoms and he suggested a leak in the system. I was sure we didn't have one but did not excavate pipework underground. I told him we ruled out a leak and he suggested we replace the pressure sensor which was the cheapest option. This didn't sort it so he came out. He lifted the pump and saw that when disconnected at the top the water didn't drop back down the rising main so the non return valve was working. We then replaced the CU301 control panel, and today the pump. It's still happening and won't turn off. I haven't excavated the underground pipework yet. Does anyone have any ideas please.
Thanks.
