Water pumps

[Kwasaki]

OK had a Hitachi water pump that lasted well but can't see or remember what model it was it served our ground and 1st floor house with good pressure.

 

I see there are 100, 150 and 250 model's that look the same as the one I had. 

 

Anyone up to speed these days on what water pump I need.

I used to have Hitachi pumps, but I  I fell in love with DAB Pumps, but they are a bit more expensive

Most would go with 250W for 2 floors.

OK I'll bear that in mind because we only use the pump for power showers and getting the washing machine to get done quicker.

Only have upstairs 1 floor bathroom.

Saw a WM150 in global house 5750 so going New Sukhothai and have a butchers in other shops.

There was something cheaper one Avox or something like that 3200.

I have the same amount of rooms as you plus my MIL old place with an extra toilet.

 

My current pump is a Mitsubishi 305EP rated at 300 watts. The previous one was a Hitachi 350 which was rated at 350 watts and lasted me about 6 years. They are both the cube models.

 

I suggest that you stick with household name brands. I did buy a cheapo model which only lasted about 2 years. The main problem with that one, apart from the life was the input came in 1 side and the output came out at 90 degrees. I had to replumb the system to get the water running properly again.

 

The Hitachi and the Mitsubishi  had the inlet and outlet 180 degrees apart which made the replacement a simple job.

 

Somewhere in the 17 years I moved the pump from the floor onto a metal waist high table for easier access, as at 77 with 2 STS kneecaps and a buggered back, getting down to the floor level is hard and getting back up again is harder still.
