It seems that the Buderus GB142 series comes with the Grundfos 15-58 3-speed circulator. The best way to compare is to determe what friction loss there is through the system, including the Buderus manifold, and what flow rate is needed for the system. If that fits onto the pump curve for the Alpha 15-55, then it will work. In general, the Alpha and its Auto Adapt feature work well on hydronic heating systems, as long as it meets the system requirements.
Depending on what mode it is set on, the pump will slow down to meet the lower demand. The pressure drop through the system will be lower than when the secondary loop is open and so the speed will be reduced unless the pump is in constant speed mode.
No, it does not make sense in a fixed speed application. Due to initial higher cost.
Unfortunately the manufacturer does not offer replacement parts for this pump, so the entire pump would need to be replaced.
This pump ships with a check valve that can be installed if so desired. The guide to install the check valve is included in the installation instructions provided.
Yes it would be compatible with the standard flanges used on the 00 series Taco pumps.
Yes, it will.
Not really: the Taco 009 has higher head pressure capabilities, but lower flow ratings. You need a circulator that can handle both the flow rate and head pressure of your system.
