Hi Ira, been away, I'm confused about the pump part as the brewtus have a single pump, vibe in my case and this works for brewing. The black box is also the relay is it not? Again this morning, steam boiler is running fine from cold start and I notice that the element is only not powered when the pump is filling the steam boiler, there is call for heat before and after the pump runs.
In the scenario where machine is up to temp, all pressure running fine and controls of heat working fine. If I run hot water spout till it drains the steam boiler, that is the only situation I have not had the steam boiler re-fill. I think this is a problem I've not had before as I don't use my brewtus for hot water, only to make coffee, so maybe the steam boiler is filling on a cold start and for the 2-4 brews a make a day it's ok.
