Replacement Central Heating Pump

Well, the Grundfos one has been fitted, supplied by Toolstation and around £110 plus the inhibitor through a cashback website. Very quiet and the heating is now toasty. Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

A nice mustard paint job?

Other than that, shrugs.

The Amazon one doesn't, anywhere I can see, note its power consumption.

I actually thought that 'standard' ones were outlawed? Clearly not.

Great result, Silva.

The label says 55/70/100w depending on setting.  There are other sellers with remarkably similar versions.

I think the issue is that you can't fit one and be compliant with building regs.  Maybe.

I should add that I wasn't recommending this as a product - just observing that the 'old' type are still sold at a cost comparable to what they were back in the day.  The increase in cost isn't down to something like cast iron costing 3x what it used to.

No it doesn't!

Oh, yes it does... :-(

Can't recall the types of readings the Wilo returned, but I remember being surprised at how low it would go - it would often tick down to single figures, I'm pretty sure, and rarely went over 20.

So what is that Grundfos one being sold by Screwfix giving you for £259, which the £45 one isn't?

It’s giving you a secondary hot water circulator Not a  central heating pump.
