Hello everyone,
I was surfin' the web for an alternative to common WC pumps, trying to find a silent, powerful pump with a not-so-hefty price tag as others, and obviously not initially engineered for WC nor other common targets for strong pumpsthat do affect their price.
I foud this:
Grundfos Alpha Pump
Those are circulator pumps, originally intended for heating systems and the like. I have shared the info with some of my friends here who have good knowledge about them (they work with them as a profession, plumbing heating systems and so), and they have given me very good feedback. These babies might be purchased as well as 60Hz versions.
They claim these pumps are virtually silent, have a powerful head (6m. for the Alpha 25-60 or 32-60) and they have very strong flow capabilities. I have found a tech. spec. pdf on their website which estimates noise to be =< 43dba, but It is true that I have never heard any noise coming from my heating system at home..... :shrug:
The pump can also be regulated via a built-in switch to 3 different performance levels
As for the pricing, one of these beauties cost 150€ tax included and can be easily found in any heating systems-related shop. So we are talking of MD20RZ price levels here in Spain, which makes this pump a very good option for those who look for something strong and silent.
Have you had any experience with these beauties?
Regards,
Sunwong
