Install Instructions

INSTALLING THE TACO GENIE STARTER BUTTON

The manual starter button is a unique feature to the TacoGenie. Using the manual start

button maximizes energy savings and controls operation only when there is a request for

hot water.

1. Drill a

⁄

" hole into the desired location, typically the side or

front of a vanity cabinet.

2. Insert the gray wire from the controller through the back side of

the hole and connect it to the starter button.

3. Firmly insert the button into the drilled hole.

Note: To operate the TacoGenie from other locations through-

out the house, additional starters can be installed and spliced

into the gray wire provided. Or for wireless remote operation,

the Taco #554-1 transmitter/receiver kit can be easily installed.

See “WIRELESS REMOTE KIT OPTION” below for instruc-

tions.

4. If wireless remote kit is not installed, use electrical tape or wirenuts to isolate the three

leads (black, white and green) on the black wire.

COMPLETING YOUR INSTALLATION

1. Turn on the water supply at the main. Check the system carefully for possible leaks.

If leaks occur, check all compression and threaded connections and tighten firmly.

Open hot and cold fixtures for one to two minutes to flush system completely.

2. Plug in the TacoGenie to the 110V electrical outlet. The pump will start automatically the

first time only and run for a short time until a rise in temperature is detected by the ther-

mal sensor. Pump will automatically shut off. Note: When the TacoGenie is operat-

ing a green LED located on the pump motor housing will illuminate. The green

LED will only be “on” when the pump is activated and circulating water.

3. To test manual starter button, wait for hot water temperature to cool below 100°F

(approximately 20-30 minutes). Press starter button to operate the pump. The

TacoGenie should run for a short time and shut off automatically as in step 2 above.

4. Check hot water at the fixture for desired temperature. If hot water temperature is not

satisfactory, refer to Trouble Shooting checklist section.

3. Attach shut-off flanges to

pump.

5. Connect flex lines to pump.

4. Connect flex lines to tees.
