Taco, Inc. was established in 1920 in Elizabeth, NJ. It was previously the Thermal Appliance Company, which was bought over by Elwood White. Since then Taco has been owned and operated by the White family. Water heater inventor Robert Blanding was the main creative force behind Taco and the company first gained recognition by developing a tank-less water heater. With the development of tempering valve and year-round boiler control, Taco Heaters became a household name in America. John H. White Sr, son of Elwood White, and his son John Hazen White Jr. took Taco, Inc. from a family operation to a major presence in the global marketplace, with annual revenues of more than $100 million.

One of the popular pumps sold at National Pump Supply is the Taco Circulator pumps. These pumps are the best in class pump for Hot Water Heating system. Circulator pumps are the most important part of your home heating system after the boiler. They are needed for the circulation of the hot water from the boiler to the radiation within a room. The radiation then transfers the heat from the hot water into the air within the room through a process known as convection. Circulator pumps are installed one per zone. If you have one thermostat, then you need one pump, but if you house has more than one heating zone, you need one circulator pump for each zone.

One of the popular models of the Taco Circulator Pump is the Taco 007. Just like the famous 007 James Bond, this pump also works efficiently and with you can depend on it. A simple cartridge pump with a replaceable motor, the 007 unit will offer years of uninterrupted reliable service. Perfectly sized for most residential heating zones the 007 is a favourite among homeowners as well as distributors because of the inexpensive initial cost and the easy installation procedures. Another heavy duty model is the Taco 0011. The 0011 Taco Circulator Pump is the best pump if you need to move a little more water and for multi-storied buildings where more velocity is required.

Taco recently introduced the ‘smart’ wet rotor circulators – the Bumble Bee. Bumble Bee increases whole house comfort by continuously adjusting its speed to delivering the right amount of BTU's (heat) at the right time to the right place in the system. These circulators are known for their electrical savings and system efficiency. Compared to fixed speed and 3-speed circulators, these smart circulators use almost 50% less electricity. When operated in the Delta-T mode it greatly increases the overall efficiency of the boiler so less fuel is used, which equals money saved.

Taco circulator pumps have been the industry standard for many years and they are by far the leading innovators in this area. It was the first company to introduce the wet rotor circulator with a hollow shaft which eliminated iron oxide contamination and greatly extended the product life of circulator pumps. Due to the strict quality control, there is little chance that your Taco Circulator pump will be defective. A typical Taco circulator pump usually last from 5 to 10 years unless leaks are left unchecked. Even when the pump malfunctions, the 00 series Taco Circulator's replaceable cartridge contains all of the moving parts so you can service it easily instead of replacing the entire unit.
