I need to replace and I have a recirculating line from the farthest point and taps into the bottom of the water heater. The pump was connected at the bottom before it goes into the bottom of the water heater.
What is the current model?A: The new model # is E1-BCTVNN1W-06. The old model (SMT-303-BT) was sold with timer. New models are less timer so you have to order the LHB08260001 in addition.Asked on 2018-10-20 by Ron#4Q: I have a Laing STM-303-BTW 1/2 Recirculating Pump with timer.
What is the replacement model#?A: You would purchase the E1-BCTVNN1W-06 and the accompanying timer LHB08260001 to fully replicate it.If the home is larger than 2300 Sq Ft we do recommend going up to the E3 version, though the timer is the same.Asked on 2014-10-19 by Randy#5Q: If the E1-BCTVNN1W-06 do not have a built in check, is it necessary to install one?If so, does matter if the check valve is before or after the pump?A: No check valve and yes you should install one. Its typically installed between the pump and the water heater.

Laing Act-303-btw Manual Free
If so, would this be why there is no hot water in the back of my house running off this line?A: If it is humming and hot, it does sound as if the pump has failed. Luckily, the new units fit the old housings, so changing to a new one is a snap.Asked on 2014-03-10 by Jason in Oklahoma#10Q: I have a SMT-303-BT that makes a humming sound but doesnt seem the move the hot water only about 3 inches up the line.

If I replace the pump, will my timer fit the new unit?A: I am unsure about the timer fitting the new ones, but the new ones fit the existing casting for an easy swap.Asked on 2014-02-24 by Don, South Carolina#11Q: I have a LAING SMT 303-BSW with a timer that has gone out. Our house is 3200 square feet. Which pump would I get and does it come with a timer?A: The E3 would be the best replacement and would pop right into your existing housing.
A timer is available on that same page that the pump is available on.Asked on 2014-02-17 by Dave#12Q: I see on the diagram that there is a Y fitting before the water heater. What is this fitting and what does it do.
Is this fitting necessary.A: That would be where the dedicated return joins the line ahead of the heater to feed the water back into the system. If that is not present, there likely is no dedicated return which means you would need the E1 Autocirc for retrofit under the farthest sink.Asked on 2014-02-12 by DSA#13Q: I have sm-303-bsw. What would be the direct replacement?A: The E1-BCSVNN1W-06 for homes less than 2300 square feet, the E3 version for homes larger than that.Asked on 2014-01-09 by Mike#14Q: I want to use my own switch, and not the timer. The pump will be quite far from my shower, so i am hoping to create a remote switch that I can use to turn the pump on before i shower. Am I able to use my own switch and attach it similarly to the way the timer attaches?A: You would better served by the Metlund Demand system in this instance.these are low flow and will take some time to deliver the hot water.Asked on 2014-01-07 by Robert#15Q: I have an autocirc E -1 smt series btw-1/2. The motor hs gone out can i replace it with a Laing ecocirc E/1?

Works exactly the same as well.Asked on 2014-01-07 by Lee Lilly#16Q: I have a smt-303-bsw that runs for a while then turns off for a while but today it has stopped and hasnt come back on. Does this sound like a timer problem or a motor problem? All the pins on the timer are set right but it wont come on even in the ON position. The house is 2212 sq. So Im thinking of stepping up to the E3.
Whats your thoughts on thisA: If it wont come on with the switch in On, then it likely has died. I would go with the E3 for that size house, luckily, that new motor will fit the existing plumbing portion for an easy install.Asked on 2014-01-04 by Rick M#17Q: Does the speed control dial on the E3 Laing recirc pump increase the speed with higher number setting? What is the ideal speed set for a 3100sf house?
Thanks for your help.A: It does increase the higher you go, I suppose the Eco setting would be best as it works in the background so upfront speed isnt an issue.Asked on 2013-12-17 by Williamsburg, VA#18Q: I purchased the E3 Series and it has a dial on the motor with a 1 to 7 scale. Does the scale refer to a thermostat setting in Celsius or motor speed?A: That dial is a speed control.Asked on 2013-12-01 by Dave G.

I believe I need the E3 series, but which version, sweat or thread? Also, I would like a timer unit, but the info page indicates the timer is a Field Add-On. Does this mean I will need a professional to add-on the timer unit, or is the job something I can perform myself?A: The you number provided would indicate a thread version, though the new motor will go on to the existing bronze casting. The timer is plug and play and could be added easily at any time.Asked on 2013-11-18 by Jeff#21Q: I have model #SM-303-BT 1/2, Part #89800, Laing Pump.

Some suppliers may still have stock, but we sold out years ago.Asked on 2013-07-31 by mike milligan star valley contractors#26Q: I have an SM-303-BS that needs replacement. What is the model to replace it and can I replace it without having to take the housing offline?A: The E1BCSVNN1W-06 would be the one, unless the home is over 2200 square feet, then the E3 is the one.
Both those will fit the existing housing.Asked on 2013-07-29 by Bill#27Q: What is the replacement for an SM-303-BSC 1/2. Re circulation pump?
