Armstrong has published an 8-page guide on energy-saving upgrade options and their paybacks. Topics covered include replacing a belt-driven pump with a close-coupled alternative without any pipe changes and a 3-year payback right up to replacing a pump with a new high-efficiency unit with a payback within two years, but with pipework changes. The brochure can be downloaded from Armstrong’s web site.
