Title: Pump quality
Post by: ST98 on September 20, 2013, 06:43:28 AM
As I start to learn more about putting my system together I end up with more questions. From what I read on here it seems three speed pumps have some advantages. I think I have all my head and gpms figured out for my runs. Seems like grundfos pumps hit right in the middle range of what I need so I could go up or down a speed if it wasn't right.

My extreme limited experience has been with Taco. Is grundfos a quality pump?  Are they equal to, better, worse than Taco or are they all pretty much the same. The thing about grundfos is with the three speed I can get pretty much use the same pump for everything except around the house furnace. That has a taco on it now and would like to keep it the same.

Thank you

I agree with you on that one for sure Scott, I did just try the new Taco 0015, three speed pump as my supply house was running a special on them, buy 6 and get a free Taco air eliminator (looks and works like a Spirovent) $110 value, I think the circs were about $75 wholesale
