Great pump

This is a variable displacement pump and what was attractive to me is that the energy consumption drops with a decrease in pump output. My heating system has four zone valves so when only one zone is open, the pump adjusts appropriately. It is also well designed.

Its worth it!

It is worth every penny - Super Quiet, energy efficient, no 2nd guessing did i set the pump at the right speed for my setup it does all the math all on its own and as things change a zone valve opens or close it will adjust as it goes...

Great, quiet pump

These are great pumps. I'm using 2 of them as circulators for a hydronic geothermal heating system. They are almost completely silent even at top speed and the efficiency is amazing. The gpm readout is extremely useful, although I'm not sure how accurate it is, as I have two in series, and one always reads 8 gpm, the other 9 or 10 gpm.

Great pump

I purchased this pump as a replacement. The 'auto' feature is fabulous. The pump is absolutely silent and does not over pump. SupplyHouse.com had a great price and fast delivery. I recommend them to anyone.

I just purchased my sixth one

I have an off grid home and business. I have replaced 6 Taco 007's with these pumps. The digital readout and adjustments allow me to balance my flows and monitor electrical consumption. The total power draw of these 6 pumps at my settings is within a few watts of one of the Taco pumps. My longest run (from the boiler to the house) is 200 feet (1&1/4" pipe) and that zone which has three of these as zone pumps is satisfied by the middle setting and only uses 40 watts.

Great pump, horrible packaging

Only negative, is the poor packaging the manufacture chooses to use. Heavey pump packaged with a small plastic check valve that both tumble around an oversized un-dampened box.

Very nice circ pump

Replaced a "green" pump that just wasn't doing the job. This Grundfos was super easy to install. Nice European-style touches (like not having to futz with wire nuts). This pump is quiet. Maintains proper temperature differential.

Q: Will this pump work as a replacement to the Primary Loop Pump that comes pre-installed on a Buderus GB142 manifold? Also would it be ok to run in the AUTOADAPT mode being that its on the manifold for the GB142? I already have an Alpha pump for my zones which works great -

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.

Q: Does it make sense to run this pump in the boiler loop (primary loop) of an injection piping system? For what I know about this pump, it will run on maximum power in the following scenario: when secondary loop doesn't consume anything and the pump is only circulating hot water through the boiler.

Asked by welder 10 years ago

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.

Q: Is the motor/impeller/display assembly (The part held on with 4-Allen screws) available separately? That way there is no need to mess around with flanges, etc.

Unfortunately the manufacturer does not offer replacement parts for this pump, so the entire pump would need to be replaced.

Yes it would be compatible with the standard flanges used on the 00 series Taco pumps.

Q: Will this pump be equivalent to a TACO 009-F5?

Asked by Ridgekid 14 years ago

Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

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.
