Maintenance Tips
-
Verify Compatibility: Ensure the circulator is suitable for your system's specifications.
-
Check Operating Modes: Regularly review and adjust operating modes (Delta-T, constant speed, set point) to match system needs.
-
Inspect for Air Bound Conditions: If the circulator is hot to the touch or emitting a plastic burning smell, it may be air bound. Check the water pressure on your boiler and purge air from the system. An automatic air vent may be needed.
-
Monitor System Pressure: Ensure the system pressure is within the recommended range to prevent issues.
-
Check for Unusual Noises: If the circulator makes noise after zone valves close, it could indicate a wiring issue or that the circulator is running against closed valves. Verify proper wiring and operation.
-
Regular Inspections: Periodically check the circulator for signs of wear or damage.
