thunderhorse Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The water pump in the ancient chaudière has packed in - it's a Salmson Euramo 3010-3020 of approx. 1974 vintage, and so far has proved difficult to replace. Two screws and the motor has come out of the housing. Looking at modern water pumps - Salmson, Wilo, Grundfos etc., whilst the cast 26 x 34mm connections are different, the pumps look almost identical (voltage, speeds, pressure, temp...)Is there any reason why a modern pump shouldn't work if unscrewed from its supplied pipe connections, and bolted back into the old cast housing? (The housing bridges both up and down water supplies - the pump is on the red side, with a summer/winter valve on the blue side. There is a separate little valve regulating flow between the two.)Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 A pump is a pump is a pump. As long as it is the same flow, pressure, temperature, voltage, speed etc etc. If it is and it fits use it. The system doesn't know or care which manufactureres pump is running and you have no warranty issues anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderhorse Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Many thanks. I'll see if Brico Depôt will take a housing off a new one for me so I can double check all measurements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
