Afternoon all, has anyone fitted the ALDE comfort pump to a sealed system [ underfloor heating ] it has a small motor on the top of a long impeller that fits inside the fluid reservoir. Barrie

 

I think the pump and reservoir you are referring to are similar to the items shown towards the bottom of the following web-page:

I've no hands-on experience of working on Alde systems, but removing/replacing the pump looks straightforward enough.

Easy peasy to disconnect and refit. Just 2 wires to a plug and socket. The pump lifts out easily when you unscrew the top of the header tank.

 

Just for information. There is a beefed up motor on the new circulating pumps. The older ones can fail (as mine did).

 

A quick way to check if you have the old version is to measure the diameter of the motor. If it is approximately 30 mm then it is an old type. If it is approximately 40 mm then it is the newer, better motor.

 

If you have the old type, I would buy a new one and keep it as a spare.
