VT2218 ECM High-Efficiency Circulator


Taco 00e™ series — VT2218 Delta-T Variable Speed circulator is a temperature
sensing, self-adjusting, variable speed, high-efficiency wet rotor circulator with
an ECM permanent magnet motor. Operating modes include Delta-T differential
temperature, 4 fixed speeds, set point heat, set point cool and boiler protection.

• Delta-T operation maximizes


system efficiency and comfort
• High-efficiency ECM motor uses
up to 85% less electricity
• Can save hundreds in fuel costs
• LCD displays operating mode,
temperature or speed setting,
watts, supply & return
temperatures
• Easy to program and install
• Sure Start automatic
unblocking mode
• Standard 2-bolt and
universal 4-bolt flange
configurations available
