The Taco 006e3 is designed for open-loop domestic hot water recirculation and closed hydronic systems. In domestic hot water applications, it helps circulate heated water through the system so hot water is available more efficiently at fixtures. It can also circulate water or up to a 50% water/glycol solution in compatible closed hydronic systems. How does the ECM motor improve efficiency? The electronically commutated permanent-magnet motor is designed to deliver the required circulation performance while using substantially less electricity than conventional circulators. Taco states that the 006e3's ECM motor can use up to 85% less electricity than conventional circulators of the same size. How do you adjust the Taco 006e3 pump? The built-in dial provides Low, Medium, and High settings, with additional variable fixed-speed settings between minimum and maximum. The dial also includes reference points corresponding to Taco 003 and 006 performance, making it easier to select an appropriate setting for the system. Can the Taco 006e3 be used for domestic hot water recirculation? Yes. The 006e3 is specifically designed for open-loop domestic hot water recirculation and is equipped with a composite casing intended for potable water applications. It can be used in systems with a dedicated return line and is also used in Taco's broader hot water recirculation solutions. Is the Taco 006e3 difficult to install? The compact design, simple adjustment dial, multiple connection options, and double-insulated construction are intended to make installation straightforward. However, the correct piping arrangement, pump orientation, fittings, and electrical connection depend on the application and should follow Taco's installation instructions and applicable local codes.
