Hi All,
hope you can help, I have changed our central heating pump today as the old one stopped pumping and the boiler kept cutting out. I am happy with this as no leaks and the boiler, rads and hot water all seem fine.
My only worry is that I may have put the pump back in reverse of how it was! The old pump which is vertical flow was certainly upside down or at least the writing on the front was and the wire came in from the top and on the right.
I am almost certain that I got the flow going the same way as before but the new pump is completely reversed. The writing is the right way up but the wire comes in from the bottom left.
The pump is fitted in a 22m pipe that comes from a15mm feed from the bottom of the heating expansion tank in the loft.
Should the pump be pumping towards the expansion tank or away from it? Hope this is enough info as hard to describe the pipework system.
Any help very much appreciated to help me deal with my paranoia
