bengasman - I have discovered I live in "the house that jack built" but I have to live with it and make the necessary changes so probably the whole thing is wrong but I need to try and fix it. If I put on the upstairs circuit only ( 6 rads ) it is still slow but gets there eventually. When the system gets up to speed say after 1 hour all the rads are very hot it just takes forever

I am afraid it is not so much a matter of the pump not being strong enough, but an utterly botched up design. 6 rads should get piping hot with a 15/50 pump on setting one in 10 minutes flat.

I think as an economic quick fix I might add a second Wilo 60 in parallel and see how that performed.

Many of the commercial pumps have an excessive price tag which is out of keeping with commercial pumps.

We installed 48 kW of boilers and had to use existing 28 mm pipework but I used two DAB pumps in parallel and it worked fine.
