    For what purpose ?

    and when the old pump fails, what will you do, build a new one yourself, or repair the old one? Not everyone has such possibilities, because usually in such situations you buy a new pump.
    However, at present, you will not buy another pump, such as an electronic one, for what is new, unless you buy a storage deckchair from someone else or a hot utility water pump, which you will use for what

    On alledrogo itself, I can see that there are pumps without electronics available. It seems to me that there is no problem with buying this, let's call it an electric pump, but maybe I don't know something?

    The lack of traditional pumps is caused by the EU ban, which imposes certain standards regarding energy consumption, so old pumps have fallen out of favor.
    I have already written above.

    Usually, if you buy a new piece on invoice, 99% of it will be an official DHW pump, not for what
    Bypass the system is, but as a rule, the pumps are now only electronic, so-called energy-saving.
    And if you want, you can always buy a used one, although it is always buying a pig in a poke.

    This valve always works in the open position, and if you ever need to clean the filter or replace the pump, you can always close it by putting the handle of the knob on the protruding pin. It was about urgent repair of a water leak during the heating season without having to shut down the stove.
