[RE-wrenches] SHW Schuco and Labor warranty issues

[Will White]

Viessmann also uses Wilo pumps (you should be able to get them locally from Blodgett Supply).  I believe Viessmann also uses Typhocor.  I think they're a European glycol manufacturer.

Thanks,
Will

Our biggest issue with Schuco moving on is finding their 'typhocor' glycol... which is of such a special nature that not even the CIA know what the heck it is, or what makes it so special or where in this great country of ours we can get it.

So far as Labor warranties it has been my crusade to get manufactures to pay a decent labor rate for things that fail all to quickly or worse still, right out of the box.  In the Thermal industry I have been hammering panel manufactures for a 5 yr $500.00 labor warranty.  The standard is... wait for it... $100.00.

WILO is a standard pump for solar water heating, I can get one if you can't.

Hello wrenches,

Is there a specific Solar Hot Water list? What I need help with is in tracking down a specific circulator for a Schuco 1.3 Pump Station.

It is a WILO Typ Star S 21U-15-130 pump. Schuco has left the solar biz as of last November. I called Schuco-USA and they have put in an order for the pump, from Germany! One month he says.

If anyone has any info on where these pumps might be available here in the US I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dave
