Which to choose: Megaflow or Torrent?

Hi Gents,
This question has probably been asked before, but here goes:
Which would you fit as a preference:
1) Heatrae-Sadia Megaflow OR 2) Torrent thermal store.
I have a Salamander whole-house pumped system at the moment, but it hasn't been the most reliable of things - on pump number 2 within 3 years.
The Salamander engineer came out and inspected the intallation when the hot end shaft seals went on the first pump and said the installation was one of the best he had ever seen and totally compliant with manufacturer requirements. So if it is ok, why the unreliability & noise Huh

- As I say, fed up with it and now wish to go down the mains pressure route.
Any advice would be welcome Undecided

Cheers.

Reply #1 - Jan 30^th, 2009, 1:46pm Do first check that the mains pressure and flow rate (seperate things) are adequate. If one is inadequate that might explain why a whole house pumped system was installed instead of a mains pressure.

Reply #2 - Jan 30^th, 2009, 6:15pm Megaflow every time in my opinion, but not a DIY job, and you need to confirm the mains is up for it.
