ECM High-Efficiency Circulator
DESCRIPTION:
The 0015e3 is a variable speed high-efficiency, wet rotor circulator with an ECM, permanent
magnet motor. With 3 easy settings, its performance curves are equivalent to the versatile Taco
0015 3-speed and ideal for hydronic systems zoned with circulators or zone valves. The 0015e3
reduces power consumption by up to 85% compared to equivalent AC permanent split capacitor
circulators.
APPLICATION:
• Maximum operating pressure: 125 psi (8.6 bar)
• Maximum water temperature: 230°F (110ºC)
• Electrical specifications:
Voltage: 110-120V, 50/60 Hz, single phase
Maximum operating power: 44W
Maximum amp rating: 0.54
• Equipped with a cast iron casing and should be used for closed loop systems only.
• Not suitable for open loop potable water or chilled water systems.
• Taco circulator pumps are for indoor use only – employer uniquement a l’interieur.
• Acceptable for use with water or maximum of 50% water/glycol solution.
FEATURES:
• Three easy settings to match system requirements - LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH.
• Replaces all single speed and 3-speed circulators in its class.
• ECM performance equivalent to the versatile Taco 0015 3-speed circulator.
• Multi-color LED display showing power on and error code diagnostics.
• Use with a Taco ZVC Zone Valve Control or SR Switching Relay for ON/OFF operation.
• Nut capture feature on flanges for easier fit up.
• Dual electrical knockouts and 6” stranded wire leads for easy wiring.
• Double insulated - no ground-wire required.
• Whisper quiet operation.
• BIO Barrier
®
protects the pump from system contaminants.
• SureStart™- automatic unblocking and air purging mode.
• Optional 2-way universal flange model for easy fit-up to any flange orientation. See Fig. 1.
• Integral Flow Check (IFC
®
) included - Field installed
WARNING: Do not use in swimming pool or spa areas. Pump has not been investigated for these applications.
AVERTISSEMENT : Ne pas utiliser dans une piscine ou un spa. La pompe n'a pas été étudiée pour ces applications.
CAUTION: The addition of petroleum based fluids or certain chemical additives to systems using TACO equipment
voids the warranty. Consult factory for fluid compatibility.
ATTENTION : L'ajout de liquides à base de pétrole ou de certains additifs chimiques à des systèmes utilisant un
équipement TACO annule la garantie. Consultez le fabricant pour connaître la compatibilité de liquides.
CAUTION: Installations at elevations over 5000 feet must have higher fill pressure of 20 psi minimum to prevent
pump cavitation and flashing. Premature failure may result. Adjust expansion tank pressure to equal fill pressure. A
larger size expansion tank may be required.
ATTENTION : Des installations à des altitudes de plus de 1600 mètres doivent présenter une pression de remplissage
plus élevée de 20 psi au minimum afin d'éviter toute cavitation ou flashing de la pompe. Une défaillance prématurée
peut en résulter. Réglez la pression du réservoir d'expansion de façon qu'elle soit égale à la pression de remplissage. Un réservoir d'expansion d'une taille supérieure peut être nécessaire.

KEY:
VI, V2, V3 = SHUT-OFF ISOLATION VALVE
P = TACO CIRCULATOR WITH IFC
FF = FAST FILL BOILER FEED VALVE
PV4 = PURGE VALVE
RECOMMENDED PURGING STEPS:
1. CLOSE V1, PV4, V2
2. OPEN V3
3. OPEN FF VALVE
4. OPEN V2, PV4, TO PURGE LAST ZONE
FIRST (ZONE 3)
5. CLOSE FF VALVE
6. CLOSE V2, PV4
7. REPEAT STEPS 1 TO 6 FOR EACH
ADDITIONAL ZONE, PURGE ZONE 1 LAST
8. OPEN V1 WHEN ALL ZONES ARE
PURGED
9. ADJUST SYSTEM TO DESIRED OPERATING
FILL PRESSURE IF REQUIRED
