Taco 0018e-2F4 ECM High Efficiency Circulating Pump with Bluetooth

Description

From Plumbing Deals' product listing.

Take Control of Hydronic Circulation with the Taco 0018e-2F4 ECM Circulator Get more control over hydronic system performance while using less electricity with a smart, variable-speed circulator. The Taco 0018e-2F4 (0018e-2F4) is a high-efficiency ECM wet-rotor pump that automatically adjusts circulation to changing system demands, helping prevent over-pumping while maintaining comfortable, consistent heating. Bluetooth connectivity lets you monitor and adjust pump performance from the Taco 0018e Mobile App, with real-time data, diagnostics, and reporting available from your smartphone or tablet. With up to 16 GPM of flow and 18 feet of head, it's a versatile choice for residential hydronic heating and closed-loop hot water applications. Key Features High-Efficiency ECM Technology The permanent-magnet ECM motor uses up to 85% less electricity than comparable AC circulators. Variable-speed operation lets the pump provide only the circulation the system needs, reducing wasted energy from over-pumping. Bluetooth Pump Control The Taco 0018e Mobile App lets installers view real-time pump performance, adjust operating settings, run diagnostics, and create system validation reports directly from a smartphone or tablet. Multiple Operating Modes Choose fixed speed, constant pressure, proportional pressure, or TacoAdapt self-adjusting proportional pressure to match the circulator to the way the hydronic system operates. This flexibility makes the pump suitable for systems using zone valves, thermostatic radiator valves, or traditional circulator zoning. Smart, Reliable Operation SureStart automatically helps purge air and unblock the pump during startup, while BIO Barrier helps protect the cast iron circulator from system contaminants. A whisper-quiet wet-rotor design keeps operation unobtrusive in residential spaces.

Taco 0018e-2F4 FAQ What is TacoAdapt and when should I use it? TacoAdapt is the 0018e's self-adjusting proportional-pressure mode, designed for systems where flow requirements change as system conditions change. It continuously monitors the system and adjusts the pump's performance curve, making it particularly useful for constant-circulation systems with thermostatic radiator valves. What can I do with the Taco 0018e Bluetooth app? The Taco 0018e Mobile App lets you monitor real-time pump performance, change operating settings, view diagnostics and operating history, and create system operation and validation reports. This gives installers a way to verify pump performance and document final settings without relying solely on the pump's onboard controls. Is the Taco 0018e a good choice for a system with multiple heating zones? Yes, the 0018e is designed for hydronic systems zoned with circulators or zone valves, as well as systems using thermostatic radiator valves. Its variable-speed and pressure-control modes allow the pump to respond more effectively as individual zones open and close. How do I size the Taco 0018e-2F4 for a hydronic heating system? The 0018e-2F4 should be selected by matching the system's required flow rate and total head loss to the pump's performance curve, rather than choosing it based on horsepower alone. With a maximum of 16 GPM and 18 feet of head, it covers many residential hydronic circuits, but the actual operating point depends on piping length, fittings, heat emitters, valves, and other system resistance.
