Can this pump be used with an open loop system

Sorry, but I don't know the answer. I am a home owner that replaced a defective pump.

Really, Amazon, I say this is a question for the seller. I ordered it for my husband and have no idea what he even used it for.

Sure. But in an open loop system you MUST pay attention to the head pressure (height the pump is required to pump the water). This figure is available in the info files from Grundfos for each pump model.

I don't see why not, but to be certain call the manufacturer technical support. Hope this helped p.s. absolutely love this tubular system.

Hi Sharon,the answer is no,you have to buy pump with vertical float switch,I hope this will help you.

I circulate water in 3/4 lines in a closed loop, radiant system using this pump. Installed 1st one 6 yrs ago and have had no problems.

Yes, I use it for my water system. It only fills the holding tank and then from there a submersible pump.

If you have the mounting space for it yes! just ensure the mounting clamps and pressure switch are secure and not interfere with the pump etc.

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

The pump will work but the hose size is different, so you would have to reduce your hose size. Otherwise it would work.

Yes. Open the intake cap and snap it onto the cap holder. As long as electric pump fits into the intake and the opposite outflow cap is shut it should work. Other wise, it takes about 5 minutes of foot pumping.

This will work, but you need a adapter so it can hook to the hose on your system. Second thing, it may take awhile because its a single stage pump. Best of luck to you...

I would say yes, but be aware of the operating amps of the pump. Other than that it should work.

Yes, it will work. Check the discharge requirements for your system. Pumps with 2" in and 2" out are available.

It should, but remember it is a air tight system.you have to be sure all of the air is out when you fill the hose and let out the air in the valve on pump.once all air is out it will work.have a clean filter as well.

I don't think that will work. The pump is activated manually by push button. I don't believe it can be automated. You'll need to be careful not to run it dry too.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

I would venture to say yes, as the tip either senses water and closes the loop to engage the pump. If it does not see water, then it won't pump. Only drawback I see in your idea, is the wiring will be submerged when your put fills. This could lead to premature failure or shorting out... just my thoughts

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.
