FAQs

1. How does the Taco 0015e3 ECM Circulator improve energy efficiency compared to traditional pumps?

The Taco 0015e3 ECM Circulator uses an ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) with a permanent magnet, reducing energy consumption by up to 85% compared to standard circulators. Its three adjustable settings allow users to optimize performance for their specific hydronic or potable water system needs, while SureStart® technology ensures automatic air purging and unblocking for smooth operation.

2. What makes the Taco Hot-LinkPlus-e ECM Recirculation System ideal for retrofit applications?

Unlike traditional recirculation systems requiring a dedicated return line, the Taco Hot-LinkPlus-e ECM system works with existing plumbing, making it a perfect retrofit solution. It utilizes Taco’s patented Hot-Link® Valve and SmartPlug Instant Hot Water Control® to reduce water waste by up to 12,000 gallons per year while cutting power consumption by up to 85%, providing instant hot water with minimal modifications.

3. Can the Taco SmartPlus-e ECM System work with all types of water heaters?

The SmartPlus-e ECM System is specifically designed for homes with tank water heaters and dedicated return lines. It learns household hot water usage patterns to optimize performance, ensuring hot water is available when needed while reducing energy and water waste. However, it is not compatible with tankless water heaters or systems without a return line.

4. What is the BIO Barrier® in the Taco 0015e3 ECM Circulator, and why is it important?

The BIO Barrier® is a built-in feature that prevents system contaminants, such as iron oxide and scale buildup, from affecting the circulator’s performance. This protection extends the pump’s lifespan and ensures consistent efficiency, making it particularly beneficial for closed-loop hydronic heating systems that may accumulate debris over time.

5. How does the SmartPlug Instant Hot Water Control® work in Taco’s recirculation systems?

The SmartPlug technology monitors household hot water usage patterns and automatically adjusts pump operation to match demand. This eliminates the need for manual programming and prevents unnecessary energy consumption, optimizing comfort while saving water and electricity.
