As long as you're using 1" pex line and not going too much over 100' one way you should be fine w/ a single Taco 0011

thanks  stove is about90 feet from house  so i think i will replace with only one 011 and put one on the shelf for future replacement easier to buy 2  than 4  thanks for the reply

Two 009 pumps in series? :o No wonder they failed. Two 007 pumps in series would make sense but not 009's. A 0011 should work fine and probably a little on the large size for what you need unless you have a 10 plate heat exchanger or other highly restrictive stuff in the house.
