Water pump advice.

stodwyer

Hi all.
Monsoon. 3bat negative brass twin pump just failed there last week. It mostly increased the water supply to the upstairs of the house for both hot and cold. We found it very noisy at night when flushing the toilet.
Looking at replacing it as advices by plumber that the motor is gone.
Anyone recommend a quiet-cheaper alternative.

The motor is not "gone" and your pump can be fixed, to replace your pump would be over €900 plus fitting, call the shower doctor in park west and they will fix it inplace.

A submersible pump that drops into your storage tank would be a quiter option, but wouln't be cheeper I'd imagine.yuor going to be paying 250+ for any decent 3bar pump

I can imagine that would work with the cold but how with the hot?

Hi all. Thanks a million for the advice.
I had a fella call tree tonight and sort the whole thing out. €70 for the whole to fix.

So everyone beware of plumbers even sent out by reputable plumbing companies telling you that stuff needs replacing.

Well more saga.
Went to turn in tap again this morning and no stir from the pump.
The impellers had ceased the last time but why would they cease again? Is the pump truly fooked this time?

The pump in my house started to act up recently, turn on tap in bathroom and no water as pump not coming on, eventually it would kick in. Then one day it wouldn't work at all, pump was really hot so turned off at breaker. Called plumber and he came out the next day and when I turned on the breaker the pump worked straight away. He reckoned it was on the way out.

Later that day it died again and was really hot so i turned the breaker of again and called him up again. I wanted the same pump in as before which he quoted me €750 for a 3 Bar pump and 650 for a 2 bar. I went with the 3 bar as that's what we had. It's quieter now also.

A friend in the same estate has just had theirs go recently too. It was approx 7-8 years old and used for all hot water circulation, cold water everywhere except kitchen and also the washing machine.
