Ok .. brain picking time .. dreaming of summer and using the OWB to heat my swimming pool. I picked up a HX and looks like I now will need a bigger pump. My current run is 100' (200 total including return) to the house exchanger .. the pool will be an additional 100' making it a 200' (400 counting return). My current pump is too small .. so I have been told to look for a taco 0013 or B&G PL36 ... is there any other brand comparable that I should keep my eye out for? As everyone in these times I am looking for a deal!!
thanks,
Steve
Steve i have a taco 0011-F4 pump on my system i have had it for going on my 8th winter i am 250 feet from my stove i run a heat exchanger for my domestic water, rads for my heat plenium, a rad in my fireplace, a rad in my basemen pool room and radiant floor heat in a basement room of about 250 square feet.
my system is a little different than most...my pump is in my basement, when i built my stove i figured the basement is lower than the stove will be and it will be one less thing to worry about freezing if i was to have some sort of breakdown
so i am 500 feet on a round trip, i have never had a problem. i did however run 1 inch lines underground even though the guy selling me the pipe said 3/4 inch would do
