Best place to put pump ?
« on: April 13, 2009, 06:30:24 PM »

What's the best place that everyone has found to put their circ. pump ?

I have a hawken 2100, and i'm going to slowly buy parts and pieces and hook it up this summer.  I have read that some folks are putting their circ. pumps in their basement, where others are putting them on the back of their OWB. We all know we will have to change the pump eventually, i would like to stay dry, and most of all warm while changing the pump.

My boiler sits higher than the entrance point of my basement and is 120 feet away, is it ok to put the pump in the basement ?
I was thinking of using a Taco 0011 pump, anybody have a different opinion ??

Thanks

My setup is about the same as you.  My OWB is about 100' away from the house. at ground level and according to Central Boiler, they suggest putting the pump in my basement, in my situation.
