3. Best location for the TacoGenie:
Typically, this would be at the fixture farthest away from the water heater, generally the
kitchen or master bath room. If your hot water supply runs in two different directions from
the water heater, you may need more than one TacoGenie.
PUMP POSITION
Circulator must be mounted with the motor in the
horizontal position. Never install the circulator
with the capacitor box below the motor. Be sure
arrow on pump casing is pointing from left to right
(hot water to cold water side) prior to connecting
the flex lines.
Note: T’s and flex lines supplied by
Taco provide maximum flow and performance.
Alternative plumbing parts may restrict flow and
delay hot water to fixtures.
WARNING: In the event the retaining screws have been pulled out of the hous-
ing, DO NOT replace them. Use of any other screw may short out
the stator windings, creating a risk of electrical shock.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the power supply to the cir-
culator and the main electrical unit.
CAUTION: When installing electrical connections, do not apply mechanical
loads to the capacitor box; otherwise, retaining screws may be
pulled out of the housing, making circulator unusable.
