Over priced, not durable
Would Not RecommendMine lasted 2.5 years, motor failure. The timer is a joke. Hot & cold water are about the same temperature (lukewarm). Hot water arrives sooner, cold water arrives later. Single speed motor. I will not repurchase this brand.
Instant Hot Water
Would RecommendNo more turning on the shower and waiting several minutes for the water to warm up. No telling how many gallons of water wasted each year. Easy install, definitely a DYI item.

No more waiting for hot water!
Would RecommendNo more waiting for hot water! We were waiting for over 2 minutes to get hot water to our kitchen sink, wasting a lot of water, until now. Bought this recirculating pump and now it takes less than 5 seconds to have hot water! All the bathrooms have hot water almost instantly. Great product, makes no noise, installs easily. Should have done this a long time ago.

Should Have Done This Years Ago!!!
Would RecommendOur shower used to take 75-80seconds before you started getting warm water, hot in about 90 seconds. Now it’s warm in 11 seconds and hot in 20. I do get warm water out of the cold side of the sink in the bathroom I placed the circulation valve on but it gets cold in a few seconds. Doesn’t bother me at all knowing how much water we’re saving.

Leaks. Flaw in the cast iron.
Would RecommendInstalled this product on the hopes I would be able to get hot water faster to my kitchen sink. When I installed it. found a flaw in the cast iron which caused it to leak. Taking it back for replacement. Stay tuned.
Hot water heater circulator pump

Good product
Would RecommendEasy installation for anyone with novice / intermediate skills. Make sure you have extra o rings and get a good seal to the water line. Took me a few tries to get a good seal, so make sure there isn’t a small leak. After you have that good seal, you’re all set.

HRWS operation.
Would RecommendThe product will bring the temperature up while running. A timed setting is most effective in limiting you costs. Cold water faucet near bypass will be slightly warmer while pump is running. Kit does not come with Hot water tank washer.
