What is the direct replacement for this pump?

[djl403]

Hi,
This circulator pump has broken in the house that I have just moved into.
It seems the part is no longer made, does anyone know which model would fit into the same gap?
As an aside, what do the model numbers mean - 15-60 130?
Thanks,
David

Going on the Grundfos website they suggest ALPHA2 L 25-60 130 as best direct replacement, are they trying to upsell me?
Are there any other manufacturers / models you would recommend?

Wilo or DAB.

Grundfos aren't what they used to be. They're the worcester of the pump world. Living on a long gone reputation.

Thats really useful information. Do you know what Wilo pump would replace my broken one?

Is that speaking from considerable experience, or are you just repeating what you have heard on the grapevine?

I would use the DAB evostar 3

The wilo is the yonos. They do a 5m and 6m version.

The 15-60 130 on the grundfoss are 15mm bore, 6 metre head and 130mm face to face as the width.

I had an old pump like that, replaced it with an Alpha2, much better pump imho as have more control over the flow rate.
