My current installation (which works admirably) has a twin pipe arrangement with stats for incoming/outgoing flows incorporating pump, pressure relief, flow rate, and air collector/purge.
A single line pump is a lot cheaper/slimmer but then there is no incoming stat (not a problem) and no air collector, but I assume I could install a standalone automatic purge elsewhere in the circuit?
Does anyone see a downside to this simpler/cheaper pump station option?
Thanks]]> Solar Pump Station https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296264#Comment_296264 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296264#Comment_296264 Wed, 25 May 2022 13:23:39 +0100 revor Solar Pump Station https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296272#Comment_296272 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296272#Comment_296272 Thu, 26 May 2022 07:27:42 +0100 tony Solar Pump Station https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296275#Comment_296275 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296275#Comment_296275 Thu, 26 May 2022 11:31:59 +0100 dathi Solar Pump Station https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296281#Comment_296281 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296281#Comment_296281 Fri, 27 May 2022 05:50:43 +0100 Charenteman Solar Pump Station https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296282#Comment_296282 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296282#Comment_296282 Fri, 27 May 2022 07:28:23 +0100 philedge Solar Pump Station https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296288#Comment_296288 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17476&Focus=296288#Comment_296288 Fri, 27 May 2022 20:57:53 +0100 Jeff B
