A central heating pump is a small motorised device installed on a central heating system. The pump is used to speed up the process of circulating hot water from your boiler to your radiators and back to the boiler. The pump is an efficient tool that ensures water is moved around your home before it cools.

A secondary circulation pump is commonly known as a bronze pump. The pump is designed to circulate water in the system to ensure hot water is available on demand. The pump is designed for use with domestic drinking water applications only.

A light commercial pump is designed for large domestic & light commercial applications. These types of pumps have more powerful motors and improved hydraulics. Light commercial pumps can handle greater flow rates and system pressures up to 10 bar.

Energy-related Products Directive (ErP) 2009/125/EC is a set of regulations that was introduced by the European Union (EU) to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions across various products that consume energy. The goal of the ErP regulations is to promote energy efficiency, which in turn saves money for consumers and reduces the environmental impact of energy consumption. The ErP regulations cover a wide range of products, including heating circulator pumps, boilers, water heaters, air conditioners, ventilation units, and more. Additionally, the ErP regulations require manufacturers to provide consumers with clear information on the energy efficiency of their products, making it easier for consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. Under the ErP directive, heating circulator pumps sold in the European market must meet certain energy efficiency requirements. One of the key requirements of the ErP Directive is the energy efficiency index (EEI), which is used to measure the energy efficiency of a product. Manufacturers of circulator pumps for heating must provide information on the EEI of their products on product labels and in technical documentation.
