1 inch union 130mm circulating pump

[dcelectrical]

Hi, I am in a bit of a jam, I have an electric hot water and heating 'boiler' that has a pump that requires replacing, the manufacturer initially quoted 90 quid to replace, so I told the client and he told the landlord, happy days - except that the pump is obsolete and the replacement suggested by the manufacturer is £495 ( I did ask if it came with a free boiler) does anyone know of a reasonably priced pump that would fit this description - its for a 1 bed domestic and I already know I can adjust the electro controls to suit most majorly available pumps, I did contemplate changing the unions but access is squeezed in just behind impossible.

Thanks

Only thing i can think of is put it in the freezer and it might shrink to fit.

will it not leak when it heats up?

Have you contacted wilo directly regarding a suitable replacement pump or head?

 

[dcelectrical]

because the pump which is 2.5 years old was sold under licence to alfa they will not deal with me. not helpful

Swap the head for another wilo
