3 way valves - i just refuse to use one.
I run a a system with 2 pumps and a non return valve on the heating circuit to prevent gravity circulation. Ok it also requires a third relay to ensure that boiler overrun works correctly. But this modification was added when the original boiler was replaced with a condensing boiler about 10 years ago.
It has been working with the 1 pump failure and one noisy relay replacement in over 25 years.
That is probably the kiss of death :)
