Replacement circulating pump advice please

[Lenc2014]

Help please !

My central heating system is very basic and consists of a boiler, circulating pump, basic timer/programmer and piped installation. The circulating pump is on its last legs and I intend replacing it.

Details on the existing pump are:-

Two Speed Grundfos Super 4

No - F804 Type - UPS 18.45 Class F r/min - 2500 44W 220V 4uF


I am looking on the Screwfix (very local to me) website for a replacement pump and they have the following one in stock which physically fits in between the pipe connections:-

Would you be able to tell me if this is a suitable replacement when comparing specifications please ?

Grundfos warranty on UPS2 and Alpha2 is 5 years. Other Grundfos pumps are 24 months (not hours!!).

See 5 Year Warranty*| Grundfos
