HI,
I'm a newbie to the forum.
I have emailed DAB pumps but I'm not sure if they have received the email
If someone can read this email to DAB they may be able to help
HI,
I bought and fitted the DAB Evosta pump for my central heating system as a replacement for the old pump (not DAB ) which had failed.
I am not a plumber to trade but know how to fit and wire a central heating pump.
I fitted the new DAB pump with the flow arrows on the pump body facing downwards as this was the direction of the old pump but the new Dab pump looks as if it is fitted upside down.
ie the writing on the pump is upside down.
I am also confused as to what to set the three green led lights
as the instruction booklet is vague for a DIY installer.
Are these three lights the pump speed.
ie 1 light slow 2 lights medium 3 lights fast.
Could you please inform me what setting I should have these lights on.
My house is a 2 bedroom flat all on one level with only 6 radiators so not very large.
The boiler is gravity fed from the roof tank and not a combi boiler.
Everything is working almost perfectly since I fitted the new DAB pump with only a couple of minor issues that I hope you can help with.
The house is warmer than I can ever remember and the boiler and pump are super quiet so I know this DAB pump is a good product and has made a huge difference.
The radiators have been balanced and all are hot .
I have a small problem that if I have the Dab pump running with 1 or 2 green lights showing , the boiler sometimes throws the reset switch as if the pump is not getting rid of the hot water away from the boiler quick enough , this may only happen once in a full day and the boiler can be running for several hours before this happens or it can happen very soon after the initial start up from cold.
Sometimes doesn't happen at all in a full day.
If I have the three lights on everything seems to be ok the boiler does not throw the reset switch.
My concern is that if I am constantly running the DAB pump on
three green lights and these three lights mean full speed am I in danger of burning out or wearing out the pump too quickly.
The pipe work going to my radiators is microbore is this why I may need the three lights on the Pump to push the water through the small pipes quicker or have the lights got nothing to do with the speed of the pump.
Just a wee bit confused but hope you can clear everything up for me.
The system is quite old but when I drained the radiators and also the boiler to fit the pump the water coming out of the system was pretty clear with no signs of major sludge contamination.
To the forum members your help and advice is welcomed and much appreciated
Thank you
and
Kind Regards
Archie Gunn.
