Installing a Vigas 40 with 1000 gallons storage. Using 1 1/4 copper lines and the boiler and tank are within 5 feet of each other. This is only to move water from boiler to tank- nothing else. How do I figure the pump size? thanks

Did you buy from AHONA? He gave me all the schematics, pump selection, and plumbing diagrams.
I have a 60, with a 0011 Taco. You're not moving as many BTUs.. but I have 1.5inch copper to and from my tanks.

yes- I emailed Mark also- wasn't sure I would hear from him due to it being Labor Day. Quit working for the day anyhow- too darn hot!

I have a 40 kW boiler. My loading unit uses a Grundfos 15-58 3 speed. Also have 1-1/4 pipe, and tanks close to boiler. I use it on low speed with no issues.
