Pump Replacement

[sotal]

Hi, Last question - I hope...


My central heating pump is currently making a noise, so I figured I replace that as well whilst upgrading the system to add a y-valve.

Just after a bit of advice as to which type to get. We have 8 radiators and it's a 4 bed detached house.

The current pump is a euramo-mx-130-c, which is 0.44A and 92 watts, made by Hill-Foster Ltd.

I was looking at getting a Grundfos 15/50 for £60 does that sound like it would be suitable?

Yes, this is the standard domestic pump.

If you have a microbore system it may be worth getting the 15/60.

Thanks for the reply - no there is no microbore - it's all 15mm at the rads

Fit these all the time very rarely have any problem with call backs.

You can fit the best pump in the world, but if you system is sludged it wont make any diference. I have a Wilo in my house and its been there 10 years as my system is clean. My Grandad has an SMC which is 35 years old and will not fail due to a poor system.

A circulator is a circulator nothing more or less.

Put a fat man in the best trainers and they will wear out miles faster than putting seb coe in a pair of reebok's.
