How To Replace Your Taco Circulator Pump

My theory is save yourself money and do it yourself. This isn't a hard project to take on yourself. It doesn't need much in terms of tools or time. I picked up my pump from Home Depot for $118. Took approx 45 mins to install.

@@MrV2u thanks. Turned off system 8 hours today. Flipped back on and the noisy Circulator is so super hot even though that floor is off. When I put that floor to 80 degrees nothing happens. That floor doesn't warm up 1 degree. Like in your video, the pipes after the air valve are cooler to the touch. I did order the circulator today and may just wait as you said. The upper floors are fine. System does always seem to bleed out air when I open the air valves manually upstairs and even ones in boiler room. Can I just disconnect the wires on the side of the circulator so it doesn't get super hot and so that rest of house gets heated. Thankfully it's been 70+ degrees this week during day.

Glad to help brother. If your pump is air bound it will make the light flash. With the pump running is the pipe before and after the pump of equal temperature warm/hot?

[@MrV2u]

The closer the shut off valves are to the pump the less water comes out. If you have a spirovent the system will bleed air out. You still may have to bleed the system out because of the chance air gets in. Find your bleeder valve and open them slowly. Thanks for the feedback my friend.

Hi! Excellent post. Thank you. When I bought the new pump off of Amazon, there was a little plastic piece inside the thing I left it in because I thought it was part of it but I’ve installed it and I’m not getting any hot water through the pipes yet. Any coaching?

[@MrV2u]

The plastic piece does it look like fins inside? Make sure the pump is in the correct orientation. The arrow on the pump tells you which way the pump is forcing the water pressure. If you reversed it by mistake it will never work. Touch both sides pre and after the pump they should both be equal on a proper pump setup. Let me know if that helps brother. Also make sure you bleed air out of the system.

You need to find your bleeder valves and let the air out. They look like water spigots where you can attach a hose. Attach a hose, crack open the spigot slowly and water and air will come out. Open it slowly to allow air to come out.

Does the pipe before and after the pump get equally hot? If your pipe gets hot on the inlet side of the pump and cool /warm on the outlet then that’s the problem. If it’s cool on both sides then the pump isn’t the issue brother.

Stuck diverter or zone valve possibly half open. Could be hard water. Thermostat can be off but hot water will continue to be sent in that situation. It depends on electronically the system is set up. Some furnaces will call for heat even with the thermostat off. It might feed a hot water heater as well so the pot in the furnace constantly calls for a certain temp. It can be other things but without seeing the system physically it’s hard to pin point.

[@ajx8571]
