Can you change the pump in a flow center?
If you do not have tools to check loop pressure and antifreeze efficacy, you are not equipped to change pump. A flow center has three way valves as was said. If you know where those are (generally on both upper sides of assembly) look inside at the round plate.
Why do you need a pump flow switch?
A pump flow switch is usually installed to prevent the pump from running dry in the event of a failure in the water supply.

Why is my circ pump not working properly?
If that doesn’t fix it, then there are some tests you can do on the pump — assuming you have two, not one. If you ave one and the jets work, it’s even more likely that it’s a bad pressure switch. Good luck. If the circ pump is buzzing and hot to the touch most likely it is the culprit.
What to do if there is no action from your circulation pump?
If there is no action coming from your circulation pump, see if your control panel is giving you an error code, typically a FLO or OH error when dealing with a dead pump. Check that your power is on, the breaker or GFCI test button are not tripped, all valves are in the open position.
What does Flo code on circa pump mean?
Nine times out of ten, a flo code means the pressure switch isn’t working, and ergo your circa pump wont work right, nor usually the heat. It’s a cheap part and won’t take a repair guy more the 20 minutes to fix.
