Q: What operating modes does the pump offer?

• Fixed Speed for consistent flow

• Constant Pressure for zoning with valves

• Proportional Pressure for variable loads

• activeADAPT™ auto-adjusts performance based on system behavior

Q: What is the Taco 0018E-2F4 built from?
It features a durable cast iron body for longevity in standard hydronic systems (non-potable water).

Q: What kind of maintenance does it require?
Minimal — the self-lubricating design and BIO Barrier® help prevent buildup and extend pump life.

Q: Does it support remote control?
Yes. Built-in Bluetooth allows full control and diagnostics via the Taco 0018e mobile app.

Q: What is included with the pump?
The unit includes the circulator, integrated check valve, and universal two-way flange connections.

Compact, space-saving design with standard flange-to-flange dimensions for easy replacement or upgrade.

Q: Is the pump noisy?
No. The variable-speed ECM motor runs quietly, even under load.

Q: Is it compatible with other Taco circulators?
Yes, it can replace many Taco models in the same size class, offering an energy-efficient upgrade.

Q: What voltage does it run on?
It operates on standard 120V, 60Hz power, drawing between 4 to 44 watts depending on load.

Q: What’s the typical price range?
The Taco 0018E-2F4 typically retails between $330–$350 depending on the supplier.

Maintenance Tips

• Monitor Operating Modes: Utilize the pump's variable speed settings—fixed speed, constant pressure, proportional pressure, or activeADAPT®—to optimize system performance and energy efficiency. 

• Use Bluetooth Connectivity: Download the Taco 0018e ECM Circulator mobile app to access real-time system performance data, run diagnostics, and generate operation reports for proactive maintenance. 

• Regular Inspections: Periodically check for leaks, unusual noises, or vibrations.

• System Pressure: Ensure the system pressure stays within the recommended range (0–125 psi).

• Temperature Control: Maintain fluid temperature between 40°F and 220°F to prevent overheating.

• Electrical Connections: Inspect wiring and connections for wear or corrosion.

• Pump Alignment: Ensure the pump is correctly aligned during installation to prevent operational issues.
