Humidifall

in THE MAIN WALL
Humidifall is a wall mounted waterfall that acts as a humidifier. A tank located in the basement circulates water up to unit and it returns to tank through a drain. System is open. Customer needed the existing GRUNFOSS circulator replaced. I had quick access to TACO pumps and crossed referenced a TACO 0011 as replacement. The pump speed (rate of waterfall) is controlled by a keypad. The TACO is pumping to much GPM at the lowest keypad setting and nearly overflowing the drain. Any suggestions on how I can control the GPM of pump. Additional voltage control or a valve to throttle the flow? I don't want to have to replace this $$$$ pump and have it sit on my shelf.
Himidifall is out of business so questions to them about the control are not possible.
Thanks for any input.

    Just put a throttling valve on the output. A globe will give better control than a ball. It must be on the output of the pump!

    Sorry I see this was posted a while ago, but I need a humidifall circuit board (the one that is in the unit itself, not the controller). Any ideas where I could find who manufactured it or where old parts might have ended up when they went out of business.

    Ha, never had any luck finding info on this product. I did place a globe valve on the outlet and that worked to solve my problem.
