The Taco 009 pump: Features and Uses

The Taco 009 pump is widely used today in homes and light commercial applications. Its popularity has risen considerably in the recent past because of its features, versatility and advantages. This pump is also manufactured using three different metals, i.e. bronze, cast iron and stainless steel, increasing the number of choices a customer has. It has one of the highest ratings among all Taco pumps and indeed among all other pumps.

The Taco 009 pump, unlike most other pumps, can be used in both closed and open circulation systems. It is a high velocity pump, which makes it adequate for both domestic and commercial use. The feature that puts it in a league of its own is the fact that it has replaceable parts, meaning when one part gets damaged, a user does not have to replace the entire pump. The cartridge is also self-lubricating thus ensuring it produces less noise. Self lubrication also ensures there is less friction within the parts and in effect, less wear.

Its low power consumption makes the pump highly popular with uses since it reduces the energy cost substantially, even when it runs all day. The Taco 009 can also be used in solar heating systems or applications, making it ideal for home and small business users who are into using alternative energy. It is also extremely lightweight and fully shock proof. Many users have, in fact, said that the pump hardly ever requires any maintenance. The taco 009 is an enhanced version in the taco range of pumps; the first among them to have a head range that lies between 0-34 ft.

The minimum temperature that the internal parts of the pump can tolerate is 40 degrees Fahrenheit and the maximum temperature is 230 degrees Fahrenheit. For the Taco pump to operate at its optimum, the pressure of water coming into it should not exceed 125 PSI. The normal range of connection sizes of the Taco 009 Cast Iron Circulator Pump are ¾, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 inches with flanged dimensions. For small business owners who want to use the pump, connecting them in parallel to increase output may be an option.
