I have a DAB circulating pump attached to horizontal pipes in my basement. It is located about 3 feet below the boiler, and on the floor underneath it are 2 old Grundfos pumps. From this I deduce that the previous owners have had pump problems in the past. The reason I had to check it out is the pump stopped working. I managed to start it by spinning the bit in the middle with a screw-driver, but the next day it stopped again.
I am wondering if it needs replacing, but also wanted to figure out if there is a more serious issue (due to the 2 old pumps on the floor!). So, I have 2 questions: First, is it OK to have the pump mounted on horizontal pipes, and secondly, is having the pump at the lowest point in the entire sytem part of my problem? Thanks.
