Just wondering how you have been getting along with this pump? Planning my install and considering using one of these

Seems like your legs and feet would get really tired at 10 gallons per minute!

Have you read or watched the Taco videos on variable speed circs?  They will maintain a pretty good set point or deltaT. I've had a few that were noisy er than others, but I think it was the install as well.

I like them, and the VDT series, they have a lot more applications than variable, and DT.  There's boiler protection, injection monitoring, and mixing

Up to 16 GPM. That's 160kbtu/hr. I wouldn't consider it low.
