No more waiting for hot water

This was the perfect solution to our problem of waiting 5 minutes for hot water in the master bath. I've used recirculating pumps before but they required an electrical outlet under the sink. Also you had to crawl under the sink to reset the timer. The Watt pump is easily installed at the water heater where I have convenient access to a power outlet. Only the controller valve goes under the sink. Relatively simple installation and easy access to the timer as well. A great solution.

Hot water FAST!

Would Recommend

This product should be mandatory on all water heaters. No longer do we have to wait 5 to 10 minutes for the hot water. It's at the tap immediately. Easy to install plus the timer function allows for usage at peak times.

What a relief!

Would Recommend

My first exposure to a recirculating pump was at my daughter's new home that had one installed by the builder. I was impressed with its performance. Our house has the heater in the garage and the Master Bath is at the other end of the house, and it took what seemed like forever for the shower and/or sink faucets to get hot water. We wasted so much water just waiting for the hot water to get to the faucets. Not anymore! While the hot water at the faucets is not what I would call "instant", i...

Hot Water Now

Would Recommend

My wife was all over me about 22 years in our house and haveing to wait on hot water in the morning. I didn't know this pump was available till I did research. After the research I gave it a try and low and behold the thing worked. The timer looked scary at first and it all made sense and was no trouble to set up. The install wasn't bad either about a hour to do.

Water Heater Recirculating Pump

Would Recommend

Our three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is relatively new and approximately 2,400 sq ft. Upon installation, we set the timer to run the pump in the early morning and late afternoon. Before installing the recirculating pump, it took nearly 10 minutes to draw hot water in the kitchen which is across the house from the water heater. After installing the pump it now takes less than 30 seconds to get hot water! The Watts Water Heater Recirculating Pump has saved us money on water and gas. We are e...

So far so good

Would Recommend

It took longer than neighbors suggested to install and I will have to install another valve because on the size of my home but it seems to do a good job reducing the length of time waiting for the hot water to drain out of the lines.

Easy to install

Would Recommend

Easy to install and instructions were very clear. The motor does make some noise and you can hear the noise through the pipes in some locations in the house. Cold water side is warm when you first turn on the faucet while pump is running but not a big issue.

Pump arrived damaged

Would Recommend

Pump arrived to my house damaged. The threads on the female end of the connection were bent and damaged. Looks like this was sent from some fulfillment center in China. As for the pump itself, it is a good product. You will get a little bit of warm water in your cold side of the faucet as well but it doesn't last very long. Hot water is at the tap INSTANTLY though. Saves a lot of water.

Buy it, you will not regret!

Would Recommend

I always wanted to have instant hot water, especially at faucets that are far from the water heater. I bought this kit about 3 weeks ago, and plumbers asked for too much $$$ to install, so I thought I do it myself. Even though I have copper pipes connected to my water heater, installation was pretty easy; I bought a "3/4 in. Push-to-Connect x 3/4 in. FIP x 15 in. Braided Stainless Steel Water Heater Connector" that fits perfectly to the copper pipes without the need for soldering. Installation t...
