    Grundfos Pump Plan or equivalent

    These seem to no longer be available (unless anyone can let me know from where I could get one) so... Could anyone help with how to use 2 independent pumps (one for DHW and other for CH) and eliminate the need for any motorised valves. Surely someone must have worked out suitable circuits, both...

    grundfos ups2 15-50/60 vs alpha2 15-60

    My newly fitted ups2 pump has developed an intermittent fault so need to get it replaced. The alpha2 i can get for £10 more then the ups2, is it worth getting seeing as it offers better efficiency and should save me a few quid on energy usage? Any negatives to moving to the alpha2?

    I have just had a Worcester 18Ri boiler fitted to replace my old boiler. I also had the pump changed to a Grundfos UPS2. The system is a Y type with a HIVE controller and has TRV's on all the radiators. It has a manual bypass across one of the radiators upstairs. Would it be best to set the...

    Update on Grundfos UPS2?

    Are there still some startup problems with these circulators? Most of the comments are now a few years old, though the sensitivity to spikey voltage was mentioned only a couple of months ago. I would also like to ask if these problems occurred when on a proportional pressure speed setting or...

    Grundfos Heating Pump

    4 floor terraced house with 15 rads - only a 15-60. That's crazy, right? They go through pumps every 2 years so I've recommended a bigger pump. What's the best way to size up pumps in relation to number of rads / floors / size of house.

    Grundfos UPS2 - Proportional Pressure Mode?

    Would appreciate your thoughts on this....... Should the Grundfos UPS2 that has recently been installed to my system be run using one of the proportional pressure modes? The old Grundfos pump didn't have this has an option and ran on setting 3.
