12 Best Circulation Pumps

If the heating in your house is already working and it just needs a little help, it makes no sense to install the most expensive pump. Such a budget model is quite enough. The low price is its main advantage, and looking at some of the characteristics, this is even surprising.For example, the height of the water column here is 6 meters, and few models in this segment can boast of such a result. True, the throughput is only 2.4 cubic meters per hour. But the temperature range is huge. From - 10 degrees and this is the best option among the presented models. The Russian device can be placed in a cold and damp room. But be sure to consider the consumption of 90 watts. This is quite a lot, although not a record.

The Russian company Whirlwind has long established itself in the market as a manufacturer of high-quality and reliable elements for heating and water supply systems. Their products are often called the best, and this applies to almost all aspects. Specifically, in this model, the build quality is highlighted. It is really on top, and with such a pump you can not be afraid of leaks and unexpected malfunctions. The manufacturer himself gives a two-year warranty, and as experts say, you are unlikely to need it. As for the technical parameters, they fully correspond to the price of the device.The throughput is only 3 cubic meters per hour, and the maximum height to which the pump is able to pump water is 4 meters.

This pump is entirely made of metal, which significantly increases its service life, as well as improves work efficiency. But with the power consumption, the manufacturer let us down a little. Here it is almost one hundred watts, which is quite a lot for such a “baby”, but on the other hand, he is able to raise the water pressure in the pipes to a height of 6 meters, and such parameters are already considered quite high, and most often, such pumps are much more expensive. Throughput is almost 4 cubic meters per hour, which is also the norm. In fact, such a pump can be installed in a two-story house, provided that you do not have 4-meter ceilings, and it will easily provide it with heat and water.

ONDO is a relatively young but rapidly growing Chinese brand. By the number of reviews in the network, its models have already overtaken the top manufacturers, and this version is considered one of the most popular in its segment. The secret of such popularity lies in the reliability of the device and its affordable price. The body is cast iron, and the maximum height of the water column is 4 meters. Productivity is low, only 2.4 cubic meters per hour, but this is enough to provide a small house or apartment. A wide temperature range deserves special attention. The pump is not afraid of freezing, so it can be placed in a cold room. There will be no problems with boiling water either: the upper threshold is 110⁰С.

The Danish brand Grundfos is the most popular on the market today, and this is no coincidence. The company produces high-quality, reliable equipment, but with a frequent drawback - the price. Now we have a rare case when their circulation pump, taking into account its characteristics, is cheaper than its competitors. This is a very reliable model that is bought once and for many years. With it, it is easy to provide heating in a two-story house. The column height of 6 meters allows this. Enough bandwidth. Yes, it is not the highest, but it is optimal, that is, all the parameters here are as balanced as possible. Add to this a huge number of protective functions, thanks to which the pump is not afraid of extreme situations.

Heating often brings surprises. Sudden changes in temperature, excessive heating or cooling. Water hammer and more. A circulation pump must cope with all this, and preferably the best in its segment. It is this model that we now have in front of us. Here the manufacturer did not save and applied the most advanced materials and technologies. The pump rotor is made of ceramic with a mirror surface. It allows you not to hide the amount of running water, and at the same time very strong and reliable. The body is cast iron, which is also a plus, and indeed the number of plastic components here is minimized. If they are, then they perform an exclusively decorative function.

If you are looking for the most economical circulation pump, and the issue of electricity consumption is not in last place for you, be sure to pay attention to this model. Before us is the most economical device.Its consumption is only 5 watts per hour, which is much lower than even an energy-saving light bulb. True, the productivity is only half a cubic meter per hour, and the maximum liquid rise is carried out to a height of up to 1.1 meters. This is very small, and in a private house such a pump is likely to be insufficient. But, this is a great option for a summer residence or a small building, for example, a garage or a bathhouse. He will not be able to provide the house with running water, and it will be difficult for him to fill the heating circuit.

The Russian brand ELITECH rarely gets into the lists of top manufacturers, but this pump scored the highest rating from real users. According to buyers, this is the best option for your money, but only on condition that you have enough of its technical parameters. For example, there is a rather weak throughput, only 1.38 cubic meters per hour. But the height of the pillar is very large, 9 meters. Also, this Russian circulation pump does not like extreme temperatures. It does not withstand freezing well and also does not like boiling water.Let's add here a rather high power consumption, more than 100 watts in nominal mode. But if you need a compact and lightweight device, then this is the most affordable option for your money.

The main advantage here is an informative sensor and the ability to fine-tune settings at your discretion. As a rule, pumps are taken with a margin, and they work at full capacity. That is, if the pump consumes 300 watts, then this indicator will not change, even if this load is excessive.In this case, you can set the necessary parameters yourself, and configure the pump specifically for your heating system. The device is equipped with an electronic display, which displays information that you can change by pressing just one button. It is very convenient and allows you to save money, which is very important. The throughput of the pump is 4 cubic meters per hour, and the lifting height is up to 10 meters. But this is at maximum load.

Any, even the best circulation pump, needs service sooner or later. This is a rather tedious task, requiring both time and certain knowledge in the internal structure. With this model, you will have to do this much less often, and possibly never. All thanks to the unique content and the use of the most modern materials. From known here only cast iron. The body is durable and quite reliable, but the insides are all composite with maximum protection against corrosion and other adversities. Also, the pump perfectly tolerates extreme loads.

Unlike competitors, a bronze case is used here. In terms of strength, it is not inferior to cast iron, but it is less susceptible to corrosion and perfectly holds pressure drops. Internal filling, including ceramic rotor, with mirror surfaces. In general, a great option, but only on the condition that you have enough 1.1 meters of water column and a throughput of 0.6 cubic meters per hour.

This is the best pump in its category, with the highest performance. Its capacity is 11 cubic meters per hour, and the maximum liquid lifting level is 8 meters. This is a lot, and with such parameters it can be easily installed in the heating system of even a three-story house. Of course, such parameters could not but affect energy consumption, and this is natural. This pump consumes 135 watts per hour. But it is capable of pumping liquid with temperatures from minus 25 to plus 110 degrees. The manufacturer took care of protection and installed special sensors on the device that control the degree of heating of the pump and ensure its long-term operation in the most aggressive conditions.
