Hi, I note that the Grundfos Alpha 2 requires a special plug to connect the electric wiring. Are those plugs reusable if rewiring is needed? It's an expensive plug, costing as much as a used Alpha pump. Suppliers of refurbished pumps don't supply a plug. Fine if it is a Grundfos like for...
Hello, my Mothers heating failed in the recent UK cold snap. I found the pump was stuck. I have a question about pump orientation. The existing pump flows downwards. The manual for the proposed replacement recommends that it should pump upwards. This would involve rearranging the flow &...
Hello, I have just had my 15year old Grundfos UPS 15 50 replaced with an Alpha 1 and the Alpha 1 seems quite a bit noisier than the the old one,
I have a new UPS3 sitting in a box and I am thinking of changing the Alpha 1 for the UPS3
if I understand it correctly, Alpha1 v UPS3
1. Alpha 1 is...
Hi we have a Alpha 2 15-60-130 central heating pump fitted. We need a bit more heat from 12 rads. I’m confused about the settings as the Auto Adapt was pulling 14w which is not enough. I have now set the right side led to position 4 and it pulls 25w.
Does anyone know what the pump should run at...
As above new boiler fitted and new Hive, Hive is set up correctly and works as it should but when it comes to scheduling on/off times via Hive the boiler doesn't cooperate, the radiators are set at 50 on the boiler but when the temp drops below this on the boiler it fires up. Now my way of...
Hi I am thinking to replace my ageing Alpha CD24R with a Bosch equivalent, I have a few quotes which seemed fair, until today we had a company turned up, he really had a good look round. Far longer than the others, (one i had to send pictures ? And he quoted me the pics that I supplied?) He...
I have a Alpha weather prod I wish to install. Can you put an on off switch in between the sensor pod and Alpha boiler. If yes what type of switch do I need. Thankyou
Hi there,
First of all, apologies for the quality of the attached image - unfortunately the access to the underside of the boiler is quite tight, so I had to stitch a few pictures together to be able to show it all!
As mentioned in the title, I'm wondering how I would go about re-pressuring my...
Hello I’ve just has an annual service done on my boiler and the engineer has said the seals are getting hard and need replaced, but after going away to find the part has said he can’t fix it, does this sound right? Boiler looks on the older side but surely seals aren’t had to replace? If I can’t...

I want to replace the three 11 year old Grundfos UPS 15-60 130 pumps as a part of trying to reduce the electricity consumption of my heating/DHW system. The pumps circulate the water in i) the UFH, ii) the first floor rads and iii) the mains pressure DHW cylinder primary circuit. The Grundfos...
The central heating circuit is slightly low on pressure so I tried to top it up with the built in filling loop. Nothing happens. No mains water gets pushed into the heating return pipe. I disconnected the filling loop on the heating side to test the double-check valve, and mains water comes...
Hi everyone,
I hope you may be able to offer some advice and/or opinions.
I'd really like to install a smart thermostat for our boiler. Due to health conditions, I myself am particularly sensitive to temperature changes and have poor mobility, and therefore find the current traditional dial...
Hi folks, my 1999 combi boiler is in need of replacing. We just moved into the end terrace 3 bedroom house October 2020.
We only have 1 bathroom with fitted shower only, no bath.
In relation to both options, I am edging towards the Alph which comes with a 10 year warranty, compared to the 12...
Alpha Flame Sensing Electrode part number 3.025192 required asap in Worcestershire. There is a supply issue it appears due to COVID. Please get in touch if you have this part. Many thanks
My daughter lives in the Brighton area and has recently moved into a rental property. The boiler is showing alternating flashing A and B indicators which tells us that the boiler needs repressurizing. However, looking at the underside, there seem to be taps missing from the valves either side...
