So in this video I show how to change the complete pump with the housing. On this older model pump with the white face you can't just swap the heads over as the fittings are the wrong size.
There's a few different ways of doing this, but I find removing the diverter valve completely with the pump attached is the easiest way.
The bottom return nut connection always seems to give me a bit of trouble to get it back on, but perserverance gets it done.
Hope you guys find this useful!

Brilliant video, I have just changed a pump and it went perfectly following this method and in particularly the greasing of the seals to stick them in place.

Good video mate very clear. If you don't want to take diverter out you can remove the side of the boiler case and the condense trap instead.

This was the R1 model so the side panels don't come off unfortunately, you can on the later models though 👍🏽

Good stuff mate. Although just a tip, Diverter doesn't need to come out, pump will come out with it still in place, may save you a bit of time 😂👍

Sometimes you need to remove the condi trap this way so it can be pick your poison

I'd just like to say you can remove the pump without taking the bracket out you just have to be a bit aggressive and wiggle it out saves you taking the divertor out too!

Yeah I've tried that method as well, but I prefer this method personally. At the end of the day you gotta use whatever works best for you 👍🏽

Great video, with the pump that you changed it for, can you just change the head for that one?

Thanks for the video man, did you need special tool to disconnect the Prv pipe cause i see it’s in a weird position and I don’t think normal spanner can unscrew it

@cputilitysolutions 3 жыл бұрын

Not really mate, the PRV nut is usually only hand tight as it's got a rubber washer sealing it so I've always been able to undo it by hand 👍🏽

Can yo change the he'd for another head which is the same? That is a silver head for another silver head? Great vid by the way. Really helpful

@cputilitysolutions 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you can change it for another Wilo head, but I don't think you'll get any new ones as Vaillant changed them to Grundfos. You can most probably get reconditioned ones or similar where you can just swap the heads over

Watched this the other day as I was doing one, great video. So it came out and new one went in no bother at all, however, the expansion vessel pipe from the pump housing to the expansion vessel, on the housing side it just would not seal. Leaked every time and that was with new washers. I just can't understand why. I'm going back tomorrow with a new pipe but if that doesn't work then I'm stumped. Any idea?

@cputilitysolutions Жыл бұрын

The only thing I can think of is a hairline crack on either the housing or the connection piece. How did you get on when you went back?

@MikeeyThomson Жыл бұрын

@@cputilitysolutions Not gonna lie I was shitting myself going back with the new pipe and the adapter for the gauge that goes in to the housing. But they worked and they sealed, thankfully. Still confused why the original didn't seal but when I put the new parts in, they felt a lot tighter to go in. It worked thankfully 👌

I noticed the new pump runs in the opposite direction to the old pump. Will this cause problems eg boiler getting to hot as the thermostat see the water temperature on the return?

I ALSO wanted to know if the rotation of the pump caused any issues. I’m about to swap a silver clockwise with the black Grundfoss anti-clockwise. Anything we need to know ? Thanks
