Hi all,
I have an old house and next year the entire system is due to be ripped out for u/floor etc etc, but today I have a problem....
This is such an old house it has a ring of 1 1/2" BSP black iron with 9 rads stood off it, about 100ft of black iron and 50 ft of 22mm plastic where I shortened the loop last year. the maximum height difference in the system is about 3 ft from highest to lowest.
I just turned on the heating and within 10 mins the circ pump was not making and noise and was red hot.. so I figure its s goner. It is a grundfoss UPS 40-50 240, which used to also power round another 80 ft of pipe work and 5 other rads.
So the question is... what can I replace it with, that's not going to break the bank as it will be ripped out next year anyway.....??
Any thoughts? - thanks andy
