Bumble Bee
Anyone know when the Taco's Bumble Bee Circulator will be available?
Availability
Last update I got was around Feb 2012...
"The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price."
I have one now
It's a prototype in beta testing. It's an high efficiency ECM circulator with four operating modes - if I remember right, they're 1.) constant speed (4 choices), 2.)constant temp, 3.) delta T, and 4.) outdoor reset. The fourth option - outdoor reset - isn't functional in the prototype. I'm using it on a Vitodens 200 / Vitocell 300 install with two other Taco 0011IFC circulators, 4 zone valves and a Taco ZVC-404 controller.

Message: Hi Rick, thanks for inquiring about the Bumble Bee circ. We first presented the Bumble Bee at the May 2010 NAOSHM Show in Providence. It has gone thru a few design enhancements subsequent to our first round of beta field tests to make it even better than the original design. It's in our final beta test now and is planned for market release this Spring. It still has all the Multi-Function capability, runs quieter, has greater performance plus a universal swivel-flange casing. Do not reply to this email
Thank you.
