Q: Can I use the Ultra Series 3 with a 3 zone circulator system?

A: The Ultra Series 3 “U-Control” can control 3 circulators. One circulator MUST be the boiler circulator, so only two circulators connections remain.

One may be used for domestic and the other for a zone, or both may be used for 2 separate zones. If more circulator connections are required a

circulator controller would be needed.
