Where Does the Pump Go?

This pump is installed in the hot water line leaving the water heater. A plumber or plumbing experience will be needed for this job.

Is a ByPass Valve Required?

Yes, the pump system includes a bypass valve. When hot water is needed, the valve sends it up into the pipes. If hot water is not required, the water returns to the water heater. Saves the hot water until you need it. The thermostatically controlled comfort valve, installed at the farthest fixture from the water heater, helps regulate the flow from the hot water line to the cold-water line.

Can I Install it Using Press Copper Fittings?

Yes, you can often rent a copper press tool so you don't have to solder anything. This makes it a true DIY installation. Watch this video to see how one works:
