I have a Ferroli LEB 9.0 TS 9kW Electric Boiler

Can I add a heating circulator booster pump, like a Grundfos Alpha 1, to the output pipe so that the flat heats up more quickly?

If it's not advisable is there a reason why?

Thanks

There is already a 3-speed pump in that boiler so make sure it's set correctly as are the radiator and underfloor flow controls balanced /set properly, too.

https://www.ferroli.com/en/products/boilers/leb/ has the manuals if you do not.

People will need more info on the settings on the boiler currently, other controls and the heat emitters (Rads/UFH) and room sizes / building insulation (or lack of) to better advise.
 
As suggested, the internal pump's output will probably be matched to the heat output of the boiler - adding another pump may upset that balance and wouldn't really be of any benefit and it's unlikely to heat the house up any faster.

How many rads and what sizes are there?
