Now, barely a year after being installed, it has failed. Grundfos give
18months warranty from date of manufacture and ours is now outside
that.

This doesnt seem a reasonable life for a pump to me - any advice?
the life expectency of a new pump is around 5 years...obviously some folks get +10 years......the old commodor pumps amazingly seem to want to outlive myself...im 35 ..old pump quality is vastly better than the new....in Scotland Grunfoss is recognised as the best type of pump....England with its Hard Water areas i believe are having problems with grunfoss ????Its probable that youve just been unlucky.....
