Thoughts on Alpha3 pumps

[cully]

Please advise,
I need to replace a 18 year old Alpha UFH manifold pump and see we are now on Alpha3
Are there enough benefits upgrading to an Alpha3 pump to warrant the extra money?
My heating system has ten loops (total design flow pressure 3.52m head of water)
Your comments appreciated

They're more for radiators than UFH systems I think. I use the UPM on underfloor heating systems. You'll need to buy the lead to go with it - link at the bottom of the product page

Andrew, the link shows a UPM3 Auto L25-70-130 is that a direct replacement for my Alpha (1.5" connections 5/6 mt head)
It is certainly a cheaper option.
Thanks

It's actually a slightly better spec than your existing pump, but the dimensions of the connections should be the same
