Pump speed

blushy · 16 Mar 2006

Our pump is set to speed 3 in a 3 bed semi house. Does this sound ok? If I lower the speed to 2 the heating seems to take quite a bit longer to reach temperature.

Perhaps thats why it is set to 3

Maybe the pump`s old and 3 is what 2 used to attain

Not trying to be funny, but why did you say that.
If at the original install it was set to 3, thats why 3 works & 2 dosnt. (Or did I miss sarcasam)

No, you`d recognise my sarcasm

Mostly installers set to 2 when new...actually it`s common knowledge to us plumbers.but not necisarily to anyone else

When pumps get old their pumping power can reduce due to not spinning as fast as they should on a given setting.........so 3 may aproximate to the power @ 2 when new.
