when you do send it via my email will sort it
 
There is an alternative. Just call the manufacturers and ask their advice. I have never yet been let down by a manus advice re pumping. All ask extensive questions to make sure you get what is appropriate.

Click to expand...

Correct
 
Mateus said:
as well in option for 0.8, 1.5 or 2.6 l/sec
is it mean 0.8x60= 48l/min so 100l bath will fill up in 2 minutes??

Don’t have a clue would need to work it out length fittings etc best get an experience plumber in
 
ok , before I would specify anything on this job I would want to know
1. heating system full details
2. present water pressure & volume per. min...and customer expectation
3. building lifestyle ..how many people..is it domestic or commercial
4. future plans extensions etc
5. customers intended budget to makecsure we are all singing off thevsame hymm sheet.
then I would produce a specification get it approved, put a fixed price quotation in at proper commercial rates draw a contract up, take a deposit and deliver it in specified timescale
subject to variations

however if the op puts up the info properly we can all have a proper look in my opinion

Rob Foster. aka centralheatking
 
If you have a good pressure but poor flow, supply partially blocked, leaking or undersized. What size is the Property??? Is it on Gravity System? Tanks in loft & Cylinder???

Hi Rob,
1. I don't know probably full details of heating system but i can tell you there is 12 radiators (4towell rails) , boiler Vaillant 30kw, 4 zones (1 underfloor heating) but i don't know why you ask about the heating if i need suite only pressure and flow rate???
2. 1.5 bar, volume i don't know? But i read 18l/min is descent
3. 2+2 family + 2 parents/visitors. It is my house.
4. no more kids:) no extensions. Just sort this house nicely
5. budget i don't know i would like to buy something right quality to money and install my self. I know how to hold spanners and pliers.
