Product Information
Full details
This B&Q Smartflow circulation pump is designed for demanding heating systems, offering durable bronze construction and three selectable speed settings for precise flow control. Its primary benefit is efficient and adaptable circulation in your heating setup. A potential caveat is that its specific connection size (1 1/2" BSP) requires confirmation for existing pipework. Key features include a bronze pump body, three speed settings (55W, 70W, 100W), a 6-meter maximum head, 1 1/2" BSP connections, and a compact 130mm port-to-port length, supplied with a complete installation kit.

Troubleshooting
Pump not running
Check the electrical supply to the pump. Ensure the system has water and is not airlocked. Verify that the selected speed setting is appropriate.
Noisy operation
Air trapped in the system is a common cause. Bleed the radiators and pump housing. Check for any obstructions in the impeller if accessible.
Poor circulation or heating
Ensure the pump is running on the correct speed setting for the system. Check for blockages in the heating system's filters or pipework. Verify the maximum head is sufficient for the system's resistance.
Leak at connections
Tighten the union fittings. Ensure sealing washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Replace washers if they appear worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This pump is supplied as a complete kit. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing installation. Connect the pump using the provided brass union fittings and sealing washers to your 1 1/2" BSP pipework. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for electrical connections. Once installed, select the appropriate speed setting based on your system's requirements.
Compatibility: The pump is designed for use in heating systems. It features 1 1/2" BSP connections, meaning your existing pipework must match this thread size. The bronze body makes it suitable for systems with higher temperatures or aggressive water conditions. It is manufactured by Unvented Components Europe.
Care: Regularly check for leaks around the connections. If the pump appears noisy or performance degrades, it may require cleaning or servicing. Ensure the system is properly vented. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed maintenance procedures.
