Questions & Answers
Why does my recirculate recently sound like water is running through it all the time
I have this installed to recirculate to an out-building. Works Great! However, I have a bathroom in the main house, near the heater, that freezes. if I install a second crossover closer to the circulator will that impact the flow to the out-building?
does it work with rheem gas water heater model xg50t06en38u0
It appears that this model comes equipped with heat traps. These devises can limit the effectiveness of the recirculation pump. I would suggest confirming the presence of heat traps with the manufacturer and calling 800-752-5582 to discuss options with our technical support staff.
What is the largest sq footage home will this circulator work on?
Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question. There are multiple factors that go into sizing a pump. We recommend contacting a professional plumber to verify the pump will meet your homes requirements.
Just installed it and it does heat up the hot water much quicker. However, I noticed my pressure in the shower seems lower. Is this an expected side effect?
The pump doesn't restrict water pressure when running or installed and not running. I suggest checking the specific fixture for sediment that may have been dislodged during installation of the pump or valve.
what is the outlet size?
3/4" on both inlet and outlet
How long is the cord from the pump to the outlet? Can an extension cord be used if not long enough?
The included cord is 10' in length. A grounded extension cord with a minimum of 16-gauge wire can be used.
Can this pump be installed under the sink farthest from the hw heater instead of over tge hit water heater?
Installing the pump itself under the sink would not work because the unit is specifically engineered to push hot water out from the water heater, not to pull it from an individual fixture, so relocating it would prevent proper circulation. In addition, the system relies on a precise temperature‑sensing and pressure‑differential relationship between the pump at the heater and the thermostatic sensor valve under the sink; placing the pump under the sink would disrupt that balance and stop the system from operating as intended. This misconfiguration can lead to poor or inconsistent circulation, unwanted warming of the cold‑water line, and increased wear that could cause premature pump failure. Finally, installing the pump anywhere other than the water heater would be outside Watts’ manufacturer specifications, which can void the product warranty and eliminate manufacturer support if problems occur.
