Over the many years I’ve been in the Trade, this always happens. ‘There’s no heat or Circulation to a Radiator, the hard of thinking will firstly, replace the Pump’!!!
How often do you go to jobs with poor CH performance & some twat has fitted a new circulation pump??!!!
This guy does a good job of explaining Pumps:

Back in the day the first sign of winters chill would always signal the start of the new pump fitting season (October/November)!  However the arrival of combi's and deep system cleans changed all this! Interesting point that the guy is making though, and one that I've never put any thought towards before regarding how a pump operates. |

I still find an unused pumps over a summer period still seize up and will result in calls - meaning pumps will be replaced regardless if you understand the physics behind the subject of pumping, its lack of usage that creates unnecessary expensive work.

Have to say I didn't understand a word of it.

Summer shut down will cause one or two problems with circulation pumps. One, some shit will jam the armature or the capacitor has lost power & unable to start the motor. A sharp blow with a hammer usually gets 90% of ‘fixed speed’ pumps going. For ERP(EU 💩 name) will generally be less troublesome. Grunny ERP pumps are 💩, better with Wilo(pronounced Villo) Pumps.

Have to say I didn't understand a word of it. It's just a bit of fancy talk dd designed to do exactly that to the viewer! As I'm always one to put my head on the chopping block - what the guy is saying (I think) is that if a pump has no pressure to overcome it will only have a rate of flow? Go on dd give us some mind blowing scientific techno on the subject that you already knew! |
