Title: Numpty Question of the year
Post by: rah on December 02, 2013, 03:36:49 pm
Hi All,

Will be setting up the van to hot water tomorrow, I have searched for images and here goes the numptie question ;)

I am right in thinking, in fact can't believe I'm going to ask this as it seems totally obvious, but

I am right in thinking that we pump water to boiler and this will then pass through to hoses? In fact I know it's right, but guy with me wanted me to check lol

Rob.

Don't do hot but if I did I'd not do it like that. Don't want your pump hot I'd have thought ???

Makes no difference the pump will take the heat. Better than pressurizing the boiler up to 100psi in my opinion.

Don't want your pump hot I'd have thought - don't want 100psi in yer boiler either.

Depending on your pump. I have had a few to bits and they didn't seem to be designed to take heat to me. The magnets were glued to the body of the pump. Glue + heat + moisture = ruined pump.
