Hi there my apartment is all hooked up to the pump, the dishwasher, taps, showers-everything!! My pump is activating all the time but I can't turn it off because obviously when I'm asleep I have the dishwasher on etc and also a plumber came last week and turned it off and it never came back on!!! no water and expensive to get a different plumber out to fix it. I had a problem with a dripping shower which I thought was why the pump was going all the time. The plumber came to fix it though and now the shower is no longer dripping but the pump is still going all the time!!!! I have noticed there is constantly a trickling noise in the boiler also...Im terrified the pump is going to ware itself out and I hear they are expensive to replace, anyone know what could be wrong?
 
Reads as a Combi boiler?? Instant hotwater at the taps and shower?
These systems are designed to kick in and out regularily so I wouldn't worry too much about wearing out.
The ticking at the boiler is probably the auto iginition trying to fire each time the pump clicks in.
However you need a plumber to come and sort out the leaks and to give you peace of mind. Get a Bord Gais registered plumber.
 
I had a similar problem with a pump in an apartment. A plumber looked at it but said it was an electrical problem. An electrician looked at it and said it would need a plumber.

After a google search for the pump manual the troubleshooting section advised it could be some dirt in the pump. Turned on all the taps in the apratment for about 15 minutes and it sorted itself out.
