Pump installed no issues. The little groves for the nut to set in are great! Boiler still had about half a load of wood and took right off as soon as I hit the switch. Temp was down to 135. Back at 180 now. Guess I'll be aging the propane like a fine Bourbon again for a while.

Hello Allis48,

I too went with a Taco pump a few weeks ago.  Taco 011 is pumping my whole system  where before there were two brodoer pumps.  I posted a short video in a Nature's comfort gt-220 thread.   Guess we'll see how they last.

Well not quite a year and the new pump sounds like its going to go any second. I'm thinking a Taco is in my future! Scott, please weigh in on this one :bash: :o

Call NC directly. They have been very good at getting back to me.
I'd just buy a Grundfos water pump, forget the warranty, and the hassle. They run for a long time. I keep one as a back up.

It don't suck off of the bottom of the tank so I don't know what it is, I'm def not crazy about broeders, if it still under warranty call nc and have them allow you credit on the armstrong e9 pump, it's a much better design, flows more water and uses well under half the electricity of the broeder.


How long is the warranty on the pumps on these? My dealer is about  douche I called him about these and said he was going to call them and see was going on but never calls back. Last year he quit answering the phone when I called. I tell people that ask me about unit I liked the unit but hate the dealer. I got hooked up with James vanhorn at NC been big help as well as this site

The cheapest way is to use a Y strainer. If you don't have room, you can get a valve with built in strainer and just replace an existing valve.

There are also filters that will collect smaller junk but they are a lot larger and cost a lot more.

Went to the neighborhood HVAC/controls wholesale house and picked up a Grundfos 26-99f, put it in last night! Still want to get warrenty help on the other pump to have as a back up.

Could you please share a link which y connector you would use?
How you clean the screen? Just turn the water pump off?
Thank you

This is what they look like http://www.grainger.com/product/MUELLER-STEAM-SPECIALTY-Y-Type-Strainer-1RNC8?s_pp=false&sgAttributes=
With that one you can put a valve on the cleanout and flush it somewhat but you have to unscrew the larger part to get the screen out.

Thanks a lot.
I found these too;
DUPLEX STRAINERS
http://www.stayflowstrainers.com/Duplex_Strainers/DCF-STEEL-FLANGED-DUPLEX-STRAINERS/

More $ but easier to clean out. Not sure how well it works. I may try to Y-strain.
