What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this hot water recirculating pump for delivering near-instant hot water, reducing wait times from 3-10 minutes to just 2-5 seconds at every faucet. Most highlight dramatic water and energy savings, with many noting they previously wasted gallons daily waiting for hot water. Reviewers consistently report easy installation in 15-60 minutes, with smart home integration capabilities adding convenience. A small number mention minor issues like temporary warming at the sensor valve or occasional pump noise, but these do not diminish the widespread satisfaction with this efficient solution.

Maybe only for a small house

Would Not Recommend

I purchase and install this recirculating pump about a week ago and installed it immediately. The install and setup were easy enough however, what this product promises is just false. Except for the first day of the installation which it performed as designed to provide hot water on demand. Since then it has been virtually no change from the normal delay of delivering hot water. Returning the product back to lowes.

This product was the answer to our hot water problems. We had to wait about 3 minutes for hot water to cycle through the pipes. Now its near instant. It was easy to install and fixed the problem.

Great Pump

Would Recommend

I had one of these pumps (same exact one) in a former home for 4 years - worked like a charm. Put one in my present villages home and the same great service. The timer is easy to set and adjust - and when it is set, it is automatic forever or until you change settings. Graduated in 15-minute increments, you can set 3 or 50 cycles a day. So you can have one for your morning shower, your evening dishes, your evening shower, your breakfast dishes, whatever. As much or little as you want. Easy t...

Great hot water pump

Would Recommend

Not needing to run water down the drain is a great savings. Only need seconds to get hot water now instead of waiting minutes. Hop to get good service out of this little pump. Easy installation !

Recirculating Pump

Would Recommend

The unit we bought from Lowes was damaged, so we returned it. We bought a second one from another store and installed it. When we turned on the water in the far bathroom it was hot right away; the pump was working as advertised!

Hot water recirculating pump

Working great. Easy install less than 1hr. Only issue was that we had to install an outlet in the area of the hot water tank. Very pleased.
