    Why SS? The only time you need SS Circs is if non barrier pex, or an open system is used. Neither of which is a good design.

    Gordy I used oxygen barrier pex and of course all brass copper fittings and stainless a manifold but I have bought a used TT110 prestige and the TT smart indirect DHW tank which i was going to use at least until I bring all four floors on line. And I thought i saw somewhere in the manual or a label that to protect the outer jacket of the tank or outer tank i think only the inner tank is stainless. Am i misunderstanding.
    {currently the three lower floors are still running on an atmospheric dragon and 100 year old asbestos pipes.which i will keep separated until retired }
    If I dont need stainless there seem to be comparable ecms like taco is there a consensus is it coke v pepsi

    You can use a CI circulator. It's when oxygen is constantly introduced via non barrier tubing, or an open type of system there will be corrosion issues to ferrous metals. Save your money.
