    Cold Rads. New Pump?

    Folks, I know this thread is old, but I have a Grundfos Selectric 4 (4-50/130) which isn't working anymore. I'd like to replace it, but want to make sure I get the right thing. I've tried using the Grundfos website to look for replacements, but it wasn't much help. Know a lot more about...
