  • Taco 1" Air Scoop

    Q:

    What's the difference between an air scoop with a hy-vent and a spirovent

      A:

      They remove air from the system in different ways. Air scoops have specially-positioned blades that direct air bubbles to the air vent. They work best when straight piping runs precede the air scoop. Spirovent air eliminators use pall rings to "scrub" air from the system.

      "The main difference between an air scoop with a hy-vent and a Spirovent is the air elimination process. The standard scoop/hyvent uses a different air elimination process than the Spirovent and other micro bubble type air scoops. Standard air scoops rely on the air rising, and being captured by a vent, whereas air scoops with micro bubble technology collect the micro bubbles in the air and convert them into macro bubbles that eventually float up to the venting area."

      A:

      You always want the air scoop on the suction side on your pump. That is the point of no pressure change.

  • Taco 1" Air Scoop

    Q:

    Do I need air eliminators in addition to scoop ? 3 zone Buderus logano 215-3 with Taco 1" Circulators and indirect Trangle tube TR-30 water heater to be installed.
    Asked on 8/24/2010 by Walshlaw from Water Mill NY

    1 answer

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      Air eliminators are air scoops with the vents already attached. If you have an air scoop
      you will need a Hy-Vent to complete the system.
