I'm hoping that a variable speed pump(s) would be an easier answer to widely varying baseboard lengths (10',22',30',45',53')in an apartment where I am replacing boiler and re-routing pipes.
I've heard that there these variable speed circulators automatically adjust to varying system pressure and flow changes without use of bypass valves, etc.
(The only one I can find is a Grundfos alpha+ which is only sold in Europe as far as I can tell.)
Are there similar variable speed pumps avail here in US?
As far as I can tell, the Grundfos UPS series (ie 15-58) is a 3 speed pump, but it has to be pre-set manually and doesn't adjust on the fly to pressure /flow changes like the alpha+.
Can anybody shed some light on this
