peace,love, and goodwill to all (except for plumbers, plasterers, wood butchers, building inspectors, architects, letting agents, awkward customers, and non payers).

Changing the board isn't only reinforcing the bull, but also costing the customer. Surely you just need to tell them the plumber is talking rubbish?! lol

The circuit breakers normally used are type "B" which will take a small surge before tripping, if your pump has a high switch on surge which trips a type "B", a type "C" which will take a higher surge is probably the answer in your consumer unit.

A domestic central heating circulating pump won't have a big enough surge to trip a B type.
