Expansion Tanks vs. Buffer Tanks
An expansion tank allows for the expansion and contraction of a system when it heats up and cools off and provides head pressure for the circulation pump. A buffer tank adds volume to a heating or cooling system and helps prevent short cycling.
What is a Magnetic Boiler Filter?
Magnetic boiler filters protect a boiler from iron sludge and other debris that can accumulate in a hydronic system.
Taco MPV – Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve Overview
Taco Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valves combine all multiple valve functions required on a centrifugal pump’s discharge side in a hydronic heating or cooling system into one body.
Circuit Setters vs. Balancing Valves
Circuit setters are a type of balancing valve—calibrated balancing valves. Bell & Gossett offers the premier circuit setters on the market today.
Expansion Tanks vs. Pressure Tanks
Although very similar, pressure tanks and expansion tanks perform unique functions. Expansion tanks compensate for water expansion in closed-loop systems, while pressure tanks maintain the water pressure level and provide a steady flow of water to the system.

Taco 1900 Series Pumps
“Hydraulic performance and reliability” is the name of the game when it comes to Taco 1900 Series close-coupled in-line pumps. Taco 1900 Series pumps are designed to be energy efficient and fit anywhere in the piping layout.
What is a Flow Control Valve?
Flow control valves regulate the flow or pressure of a fluid and are used in commercial and residential hydronic heating systems to limit water flow to equipment.
What is a Low Water Cutoff?
Low water cutoffs (LWCOs) actively monitor the water level in a boiler, then cut power and shut down the system if the level drops below a safety threshold.
