Hi - Just my opinion, but after 18mths use and possibly 1000s of pump power cycles I think its proven the service fuse is ok with the inrush current. Keep in mind the BS88 63A fuse will tolerate more than 200A for 10sec without melting and the 40A B MCB in the final circuit (say) will trip instantly. Whether the rest of the design is ok (possible max demand issue?) and there are the installation defects to chew through.
