Problem solved. The pump was Tyco...my error in the post. There is no such pump with sweated joints powerful enough to handle the load of water flow in the system. Pressure is not a problem and PRV was not indicated. The issue was that there were flanges from a previous B &G pump which years ago...

My deductible exceeded my costs. Also if needed have federal flood insurance..Gasket suggestion might be of help. Do they dry out with heat?

Picture of installed Pump with new gaskets

So I am looking for a sealed system pump with fittings that do not use gaskets..it must exist!

I am not sure either..but I have had 3 floods and each time the gasket fractured between the pump outflow and the recipient pope fitting, and a stream of water soaked the basement floor.

Holding tanks at time of build were to prevent the AO Smith Hot Water Heater from continuously running.They are insulated and hue draws first from the holding tanks which as depleted fill from the HW Heater.

Actually I think they dry out from heat. There are 2 -200Gal Holding tanks.

Hi Have AO Smith hot water heater with recirc B & G pump just above the heater. The gaskets thrice have dried out and ruptured. Basement filled with water I have been changing the gaskets regularly and the last change was 6/2016 and latest flood was 5 days ago... Home water pressure is about 80...
