Replacing Circulation Pumps Catridge
Welcome to another exciting edition of Inspector Pumphead’s Classroom! In this feature, we’ll be talking about various small, simple pump “How-To’s” that any homeowner or facilities manager can tackle.
How to Replace the Cartridge on a Taco 007 Circulator Pump.
As the name suggests, circulator pumps are used to keep hot water circulating throughout your water system so that it is immediately available at point of use. For those of us who live in colder climates, the coming winter months are a particularly annoying time to have to wait for water at the sink or tub to heat up. The presence of a circulator pump ensures that hot water is always readily available.
The Taco 007 is built for quiet operation in hydronic heating, radiant heating, hydro-air fan coils, indirect water heaters, chilled fresh water and domestic water circulating systems. The cartridge style design means the actual circulating mechanism is contained in an easily serviceable or replaceable single unit. It is perhaps the most popular cirulator on the market and plenty are always available in stock.
In the video below, Pump Products application engineer Nick, who I have personally trained, will walk you through the process of replacing the cartridge, using the Taco 007-F5 pump and the proper Taco replacement cartridge (the cartridge package should also include a replacement gasket and spare bolts as well).
