Should I upgrade central heating pump?

Proportional Pressure (PP) setting "C" seems to fit the requirements well.

Ah right…is there any benefit to using PP versus CS out of interest? I can see that there does seem to be a marginal energy saving

Edit- sorry I can see you have already answered the above query. Missed it. I’ve now put it at the PP setting. Thanks again for all your advice!

There's no saving if you are running the heating system as you were when you took the readings at CS2. But (relatively) very big savings if your heating demand falls to a level where you only require say 1/2 the original flowrate. CS2 will then run with a head of 5.95M to give that reduced flow and require ~ 28W but if c/o to PP3 the flow will fall a little below "1/2" at a 3.8M head but the TRVs will then open up a little and the final PP readings shou;ld be ~ 4.0M and require only 19W. Also the pump should be whisper quiet at the reduced RPM.
My pump runs between a max of ~ 22/24W and a minimum of 14/16W.
