Title: Grundfos Circulator UPS26-99FC 3-Speed 115v
Post by: Homerglide on August 10, 2013, 12:39:50 PM

Here for sale is a a 26-99 3-speed 115 volt for sale. Just got it and find that it pushes too much for this situation. So it was used for maybe 15 minutes.

Why don't you just run it on a lower speed?

Yeah, low speed is too much also. The purpose of the circulator is to charge the stotrage tanks of a closed system. Originally went with a 15-58 but it would not keep up with the boiler output. Tried the 26-99 and even on low the boiler couldn't keep up with the flow. Finally found the sweet spot with a Grundfos 15-100. Boiler out temp is steady at 190-195 out without a hickup.

Anyway the Grundfos 26-99 3-speed may very well fit an OWB open system. See pump curve at:
