oranjeboom Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi all, looking at getting my UFH purchased this week once I get these last two competitive quotes sorted out. One supplier is approx £400 dearer so hopefully I can get them to stand by their slogan of "will beat competitor quotes bla bla bla....". In any case, they have itemised as separate components "grundfos EuP 22kw pump" as well as "pump station - grundfos". Are these not the same item? One is a pump and with a temp blending function and the other is what then? I'm speaking to them tomorrow to get their price knocked down a bit more hopefully but would be good to know before hand as to what they are quoting me for. I've already had to correct them on a few items, so would not be surprised if they have duplicated components here, which would explain the difference in quotes. TIA!

ProDave Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Perhaps one is the pump, and the other is the thermal mixing valve? Trying to make their quote look like you actually get more than you think you are getting? Pictures of what they are offering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Website does not seem to distinguish what they are, certainly don't sell them seperately it seems. Bit like going to the shop and asking for a bottle of lemonade "I'd like a lemonade bottle with some lemonade in there as well please". Or ensuring that the car you are buying contains an engine....

joe90 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 That's interesting as I bought a UFH kit from Wunda and because I told them I was using an ASHP their kit contained no pump!! Others on this forum have pumps and blending valves to control their UFH. So I shall follow this thread closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Wunda delivery arrives tomorrow ... and my manifold and Wilos EuP pump certainly didn't come to £400 never £400 more ..! Total cost for 77 sqm including floor trays, pipe, few rails for doorways and the pump and manifold with its bits is about £800. Also ordered the commissioning kit at £15 and the reamer which will be available to anyone else after next week when the concrete floors are in ..!

I wunda why you all think it's Wunda that I am discussing here??? That price of £800 does not seem a bad price then. Mine is 135sqm but I don't need the floor trays (pipes cable tied to mesh) which seem to be pretty ££. But then they have quoted for two of their Grundfos pumps as well as two of their pump stations, so that could be really pushing the price up. 1 hour ago, joe90 said: That's interesting as I bought a UFH kit from Wunda and because I told them I was using an ASHP their kit contained no pump!!

Does your ASHP also push the water around your pipework then?? I would have though you still need a dedicated UFH pump, but I am no expert.

joe90 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yes, I do believe I need the additional pump and I am waiting to get the whole ASHP, UFH, DHW designed soon ( so watch out guys, questions are coming). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using them for ease as we have a flowcrete screed that is fibre reinforced so makes life slightly easier ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
