Back boiler pump

Featured Posts

Our back boiler pump has just died (perfect timing as its getting chilly, although thankfully not midwinter...) What do people recommend using? I've seen the solar pumps: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TS-Trade-Circulation-Silent-Coupler/dp/B07M7J72L6/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B07M7J72L6&psc=1 but will that do? The price seems too good to be true!

 

Also, what should I refill the system with, as I can't see that its been fitted with a cut off valve, so will probably end up draining a bit of it before I can block the 'ole.

I used a similar pump on our engine -> radiators heat exchanger system. Although we don’t live aboard, it’s had quite a lot of use over the past 8 years or so, still works fine.

 

At that price you can buy two, keep one as a spare.

These are the car type ones, also good and low cost. Hose connections.
