    Hi all, please advise. I moved in about 4 years ago and this shower has been here since. It looks like the pump is on it's way out?? It will extract/drain the tray once or twice and then you will hear what sounds like the pump engaging(some sort of humming noise) but water is not extracting...

    Circulation Pump Question

    As mentioned in my 'System Drain' thread the house has been extended in 1986. In recent years I felt the circulation was not as good as it should be . I have previously replaced a section of pipe when we had blockage at point where cold feed joins together with clean and drain, refill+...

    Having Viessman Vitodens 200-w 32kw installed. I’m expecting to then install low loss header and secondary pump for whole house. (Size / flow rate justifies this). I’m looking for 1) confirmation that the secondary pump will be controlled via (something like) their EM-M1 controller...

    CH pump replacement concerns.

    Hi. My Parker 15-60 130 pump has been running fine for 7 years at its highest speed. It has recently developed a knocking sound when hot and working hard (disappears on speed 2) but this is not fast enough for my 15 radiator bungalow. Bleeding the pump had no effect so I suspect it might be on...

    Hi, recently had a Grundfos ups3 Pump fitted and get a hissing noise out of it and then 2 of the closest radiators start to gargle, I’ve change the speed down to constant 2 as it was on constant 3. Would constant speed 1 be ok as its a bungalow with 8 radiators.? Thank you.

    Is my drain meant to have a pool of sewage? (Domestic uphill pump)

    Hi all, I have a submerged pump in my drain (a Hippo 50) pumping uphill on my property to the sewage main. I've been noticing a bit of a sewage smell every so often e.g. after using the shower so lifted up the drain cover today to have a look. It looked like a septic tank in there being full of...

    Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i Pump Speed

    Can anyone tell me if the greenstar 24i circulating pump modulates? i have been looking at param 2.1c which references settings 0 to 4, i know the factory default setting is 4 (constant high pressure) which to me implies that it would not modulate on this setting, does it need to be setting 0 to...

    Grundfos 25-80 Pump - Magna1 versus UPS2?

    Replacing boiler and will be fitting Grundfos 25-80 Pump (recommended by pump sizing calculator). Any thoughts or advice on Magna1 versus UPS2? From what I can see the Magna1 is a large beast but space not really an issue for me, but is it actually worth it? On paper specs look quite similar...

    Adding pump over-run?

    I have a new Firebird Silver Boiler House model oil fired room heat only. I note in the manual all other models in this range have pump over- run connections. But not mine: The circulator pump is wired with the boiler. So when a zone valve opens the boiler and pump both get 240v. Could a...

    Stuart Turner Monsoon pump sticking on or off

    We have a Stuart Turner Monsoon 2 bar shower pump which has lately been either refusing to start, or not switching off when we turn off the shower. Tapping the side of the outlet pipe seems to unstick it more often than not, but it's a real nuisance. We have an oil-fired Aga, and the water does...

    What kind of pump can empty a full septic tank in a remote area?

    I thought I could buy an external pump to pull out with a two inch pipe and send it away from the house.

    UFH must valves open before pump runs?

    The (rather sparse) manual with the controller that was supplied with my UFH (Hettaj describes the start sequence as - when demanded by the stat - valves open then pump runs. As the programmability of the stat is very basic, I’d like to replace it with a smart controller the same as I use on...
