Triangle Tube generations & serial number designations
hey, how do I know the age of my triangle tube boiler with a serial number PS1765?
Thank you for a straightforward no BS explanation. I'm so tired of videos that put entertainment over information.
How much more expensive will your utility bill be? Whether your water is heated by gas or electricity, a recirculating pump will cause a drop in the temperature of the water in the water heater tank causing the tank to turn on to heat the entire tank.
can u ran this unit on 230V
If you don’t want hot water circulating thru uninsulated water pipes can you just unplug an always on recirculating pump?
IMPORTANT CAVEAT: These pumps clog and fail with cast iron radiation (very common in the Northeast). The ECM pump magnetic field attracts iron oxide from the old pipes, clog and fail. If you don't mind callbacks and pissed off customers, put an ECM in a system with cast iron radiation. By the way, NEVER replace cast iron radiation... the huge thermal mass is fantastic for efficiency. One might be able to use a magnetic wye filter (needs to be 100% efficient). It's all in the physics.
I have a Grundfos with the three settings ,hooked up to a Honeywell two wire thermostat (This unit is for heated floors)if i disconnect the thermostat the unit works , how do i control temperature
My hot water recirculation system's electricity costs zero to run per year. If you have a return line from far end - look into using a gravity system. Zero maintenance and works great!
Can you provide model numbers for these three units you are describing?
Same question
Keeping your pipes hot wastes heat even if it saves water.
Handy little product out there called "pipe insulation". Look into that someday.
@@bigdog8008 No reasonable amount of insulation will keep the hot water in the pipes from shedding significant amounts of heat over time. The reason your hot water tank cycles on even when no hot water is used is because heat is lost through the insulated walls of the tank. Keeping the water in the pipes hot along with the water in the tank will add to that loss even if they are insulated. Also, most people aren't going to tear down walls to insulate their pipes.
@@Andy-df5fj OK -- this works quite well for me but you do your own thing and run your hot water for 20 minutes before getting in the shower.
Mark Thank you for a great video. Our house was built in 87 and it takes long time to get hot water in the shower. We also have a water softener. I heard that to install a recirculating pump you have to do something to the softener. Can you let me know what that is? Thanks in advance
Is that last one you demonstrated okay to use on a tankless? Rinnai RUC 80
I need to pick the right one for a tankless.
I moved into a house that is 16 years old. It has a UP10-16BN5/LC. Other than how quick the water gets hot at the faucet, how do I know this unit is still working/running. Thanks.
Why did they stop producing the alpha 3. I loved them pumps. What is in place for the alpha range from now on??
The recirculating pumps are great - until you receive your first gas bill to run the water heater more often.
Huh, I never thought of that one. How much of difference though?
Do you have a non-timer pump recommendation for a tankless system?
Please Any guidelines on 160 AP gas regulators?
thank u
A plumber just replaced my grundfos pump,. We had the one that had a plastic cap that covered the timer switches, we didn't use the timer at all. They put the second pump you show in this video and the hot water take like 5 to 10 minutes to start up. I tried it at 100% as well. Any ideas we have that furnace type tankless water heater
is the 14-day "learn mode" a single, one-and-done process that happens the first time the unit is turned on or is it a sliding window that is constantly learning? In a new build, the builder will test the unit to be sure it works. If that builder uses the only single, one-and-done 14-day learning period, then nothing the owner does after he moves in will change when the unit turns on or off. If the 14-day learning period is an ongoing, sliding window, then the homeowner's habits, not the builder's testing, will govern when the unit turns on/off. Please clarify because none of the documentation on the Grundfos website answers my question.
I have the same question. Did you find an answer to this? Thank you.
I have the unit with the temperature sensor. Can I install the pump under the farthest sink?
can the pump run 24/7?
Yup
What is the model of the last pump? Thanks
Great explanation! We just installed a new water heater and installed the 3 mode version of your pump. The manual gives a pretty basic explanation but I really appreciate your detailed explanation and your recommendations.
I was wondering where to order the union with the larger body to accommodate the check valve. S Is the 98420224 the larger union for check valve? Several of the GRUNDFOS have been discontinued. I could only find the 98420223.
Hi there, can I attach a external thermostat to the magna 3 pump for start and stop,thanks
Yes, you can, there is a open/close status relay.
where do the rubber washers go on the union sweet
Question: I've got two separate circuits, one for the left side of the house, the other for the right side of the house, each with their own return line. If I installed a single pump at the drain on the bottom of the hot water tank, might I have problem with it pulling more from one side compared to the other, so that the users on one side of the house will have hot water, but the users on the other side won't? Also, I imagine that each circuit would need its own check valve so that one side doesn't pull from the other.
I am a plumber and I just did a renovation in a house similar to yours. I had to run 2 separate return lines with 2 separate recirc pumps. I used the 3rd one he showed
I've had issues w/ my comfort 10-16 from day 1 in temp control mode (Not auto adapt). I have the Tsupply sensor on the DHW outlet about 10" from the tank and the return Treturn is integral to the pump obviously. Tsupply is 95F (Should be at least as it's based on my IR temp gun) and Treturn is near ambient at 74F. So either the Tsupply or Treturn sensors are bad I feel The pump is ALWAYS in standby except for initial power up. Ever seen this? I am having a hard time getting ahold of anyone at grungdfos.
Hello. I have the UP 10-16 Auto pump which replaced the one that always stays on due to make a loud buzzing noise after 2 years. I had a plumber replace it but after 48hrs the new one is making the same noise when it runs on the auto feature. Do you have any recommendations or suggestion of what the issue can be?
Hi, thanks for the video and the explanation. LEt me ask. Why should i use an expansion thank on the return line if it goes into the cold water side, and why is better to mount the return line into the drain valve of the tank? that`s what i understood. is that correct? thanks
It understands when you're making love to your wife… It understands everything
Is changing the boiler settings to “thermostat and constant” specific to the LP conversion? Also right after you would have to perform a combustion test and adjust the throttle screw correct? Also wondering where the little window is to visually check the flame..
I have a multistory house and my furthest sink is about 15’ above the water heater. Can you recommend a pump that can handle that head?
Thank you for sharing this information. I have a Laing pump on my system that has gone bad and was told that the Grundfos pump might fit directly into the Laing body. Do you know if that is the case or will I have to cut out my Laing and reinstall the new system??
Will this work well for a 24 unit apartment complex?
I watched the entire video and can not order a Grundfos pump, because the model numbers were not mentioned!
I wished that I viewed this when I first got it. The plumber said to keep it on "auto". Like you mentioned most people do not live such a regimented life. Auto did not work for me. I thought "auto" was the only options. I found you and now I am going to try it on "temperature" mode. Hopefully, I will be happy with it now. You explained it very well. Thank you
Incomplete or purposely omitting description of energy costs! I agree that the cost of running the pump is almost nothing, but it is the cost of unnecessarily re-heating the cooler water returning to the tank that is the game changer. You should use a timer or manual button switch or the auto learn mode.
Insulate the line.
In no way is the purpose of this to save $ on heating water. It is for A) comfort and B) saves on water waste. If you want to save $ on heating water, do not use a circulator.
Should the setting be turned on to 100%?
That’s what I ended up doing. Figured the cost was so minimal (pay .06/kWh) and the lack of stop/start cycles would extend life of pump.
@@bpdp379 You have amazingly inexpensive electricity, but note that the main cost is in keeping the hot water and recirc pipes hot.
@@mpeg12 sure enough. Everybody has to pay the piper somewhere, right?
would have been nice for him to tell us complete model numbers of each unit he mentioned.
Wally is correct. I watched the entire video and can not order a Grundfos pump, because the model numbers were not mentioned!
Can you please send me item/part numbers and their descriptions so nI know what I need to purchase? Thanks
would this work with a Navien NPE 240S tankless hot water heater?
Great explanation! We moved into a house and had no idea what this was on our hot water heater and could not find a manual online. This video answered all our questions. Thank you for the easy explanations!
Does it come included with the check valve?
How do you change from natural to low?
If the water is on a private well is this going to ruin the pump?
What problems are created if the water heater is kept at a tightest temperature?
How long does it take for the coldest water to show up?
