Running Grunfos 15-58's and Taco 007's semi-continuous. Is that a problem?

Hello Everyone!! First post here for me since last heating season. Hope all is well and Happy Holidays!!

I'm running my Garn a little differently this year. No plumbing changes, only firing schedule/tenant schedule/shower schedule changes, to make a long story short. Anyways, it's working pretty well so far, especially given the mild weather, but as a consequence the two Garn pumps (15-58's) and occasionally some of my zone pumps (007's) will run almost all of the time. I don't mind, as it's getting the job done, but are these pumps designed for continuous or near continuous use?

Thank You!!

Thanks Guys!! I'm lettin' em rip!!

Hi B,

Thanks for the info, Given the weaknesses in my system design (still keeping oil boiler hot with Garn via flatplate, etc..) letting the pumps just run seems to work better than on-n-off.

As you know, the cleaning itself was a prick. But, I took the time to get it clean and it has stayed clean. Clean in the sense that if I pop the mainway lid and look in there, it is crystal clear all the way to the bottom and no floaties or junk on the tank sides.
I've had it tested twice since, and both times it came back showing the presence of biologicals and had to be treated. I'm told that it is an environmental thing typical of farms. The down side is, that apparently repeated treatments, after a few seasons, cause an accumulation of "dead bodies" that cause gunk and floaties and such, that can cause trouble and require another draining and cleaning session that I DO NOT want to do again. The solution, I'm told, is filtration. Side-stream filtration. Here are links to what I'm looking at for next year. OOoops the file-type is wrong and won't let me post it. Email me at [email protected] is interested.

Hope you have good Holidays!
