    Water pump stopped in central heating

    I think I'm convinced now, In looking at Grundfos' webpage: https://product-selection.grundfos.com/products/up-ups-series-100/ups2?tab=documentation It reads; "The (USP2) motor is based on permanent-magnet and compact-rotor technology securing silent operation and low energy consumption."...

    Water pump stopped in central heating

    Why do you say that? It concerns me that my old one (USP) has maximum power rating of 95W, yet the newer Grundfos USP2 only has maximum power rating of 48W. Are we sure the USP2 'upgraded' ?? version will do the same job as the older 95W model. I mean the older one is literally double the...

    Water pump stopped in central heating

    Just realised the Grundfos one, the expensive one, may not be suitable - see the power ratings on the photos. The cheaper one, 'boiler-m8', has similar power ratings compared to my old one. Once again, see the pics. Am I missing something here; I need to buy the cheaper one because the more...

    Water pump stopped in central heating

    Yes, I do have small tank in loft. I have 'bunged' (closed off?) water supply to it and system is drained. Undo pump onions? That means the nuts? When you say "open vent plug on pump", do you mean the screw on the front to vent? Now which pump should I buy? This would be a direct replacement...

    Water pump stopped in central heating

    The pump is 22 years old. I'm wondering as the bottom valve weeps now that I've adjusted it and will need to be replaced before flooding the system again; I'm thinking, just replace the pump too. Afterall, it is the likely culprit. If after replacing the pump and valves, it still doesn't work...

    Two 'draining' taps outside - why two?

    No, these are definitely draining taps. I have a garden tap around the side of the house.

    Two 'draining' taps outside - why two?

    I believe I just drained my central heating system by use of the outside LEFT tap. What does the right one do? I briefly turned it on and the water came out with more force.

    Water pump stopped in central heating

    I tried an Allen key on the bottom valve but it wouldn’t stop weeping, ever so slightly. On rotating valve back to original position it still wept. Draining entire system now. I presume to state the obvious that these valves need replaced. No I haven't checked if power getting to Water pump...

    Water pump stopped in central heating

    Water pump was roasting hot but no hot hotter. I tried unscrewing the big screw and rotating pump a few times to no avail. Closer view: Allan key valves above and below: I guess I should just isolate the two valves (above and below), turn off electricity (of course) and then...

    Water bath thingy in loft?

    I checked, the bottom (underside) of the overflow pipe is 1.3 cm lower than the water inlet. Both distances were measured from the bottom of the cistern tank. Yeah it was, I found it. I extracted the muggy water first of all by using a container: Then I had to use a handpump for the...

    Water bath thingy in loft?

    It's about half full, the water around 12-15 cm in depth. My hot water wasn't on at the time I took the pics, but the hot water works fine when I do switch it on; the boiler in the kitchen kicking into action. I don't use my central heating system - EVER! The hot water cylinder (tank?) is...

    Yeah, thanks. Was a little surprised that no one gave a link for the part on this forum.
