Why install a Hot Water Pump?
The Watts Instant Hot Water Recirculating System brings convenience and savings to your home, giving you hot water instantly at every faucet or shower when you need it. This unique product connects easily to existing plumbing, saving up to 12,000 gallons of water per year.
How does it work?
This recirculating pump eliminates water waste caused by waiting for water to heat up. The device uses the pump at the water heater and a patented under-sink sensor valve to create a pressure differential. The pressure differential allows the cold and cool water in the hot water supply line to bypass into the cold water supply line at a low volume through the thermostatically controlled sensor valve, keeping the water in the hot water supply line at a "no-wait" temperature throughout the home.
Step by Step Installation Guide
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Step 1 - Installing the PumpA pump with a built-in timer mounts directly on the hot water line from the water heater with 3/4" connections. |
Step 2 – Installing the Sensor ValveA patented sensor valve opens when the water on the hot water side cools and pushes the cool water back to the water heater. As the temperature in the hot water line hits 98º, the valve closes. |
Step 3 – Installing Sensor Valve KitsIf one section of your home does not receive hot water, you will need to purchase a Watts Sensor Valve Kit for each hot water loop. For best results, the valve should be located at the faucet furthest from the water heater in each loop. |

Second, I have an electrical outlet in the attic maybe 6 feet from the water heater, so we just plugged the pump in and it worked. Super quiet by the way. The unit basically sits right above our bed and can't be heard at all. The pump has a built-in timer, but if the power goes out, I didn't want to have to go up and reset it, so I bought a Kasa wifi controlled outlet ($13 for 2 on Amazon). I left switches on the pump "on" 24/7 but have the wifi outlet scheduled for 6 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 10 pm so it doesn't run while we are away or asleep. I can always turn it on or off from my phone or through Alexa. The plumber hadn't seen that setup and will likely be suggesting it to his customers going forward.
Overall, very happy with the ease of installation and operation of the pump. I'll likely pay for it on saved water bills.
I was very amazed as I was getting prepared to drop a few thousand $$$ to have a Tankless installed just for the upstairs master bath I am very pleased with this system. Now I have seen where some people are concerned about cost to run this etc. first it waste no water so right there whatever the cost should be outweighed in water savings. Second I have seen people mock those about putting this on a smart timer since it already comes with a built in timer, what those doing the mocking are not realizing is that if the power goes out then the built in timer does not keep its correct time once power is restored, Yes I'm sure for many this is probably a very rare thing, but I can tell u you here in Northern CA the power especially in the summer is 50/50 at best! So yes I would highly suggest the use of a smart plug for one of these, I already have dozens of smart plugs/lights & switches in use at my home so I did not need to purchase one but they can be purchased for less than $25 I recommend Tp-link by Kasa! The other nice thing about the smart plug especially if it has the energy monitoring option (Not all do get one with the monitoring) is that you can get a real time look at what the power consumption is daily, weekly and yearly to kind of give you a idea of the Electric use which is not bad. The pump averages right around 22 watts +/- while running the company states is should be less than a nickle a day or so to run 24 hours. I may set up a schedule or Alexa routine but currently I have not having 48 345 watt solar panels and Battery I am not to concerned about 22 watts running.
On to the gas usage, given we have a large home along with large heated pool/Jacuzzi and outdoor gas fireplace etc. we have a very large diameter gas line with a smart meter. I can always here the meter gurgling so to speak when any of the large items are being uses including the hot water tank, to date after checking numerous times I have yet to hear the gas meter or the actual hot water tank firing constantly, not saying it does not fire up once enough coldwater gets pushed back into it I am just not hearing it like a normal tank being heated up! So again I do not believe that the complaint of this using mass amount of utility to use 24/7 again as compared to dupping 100s of gallons a day down the drain I fully believe at best it is a gain in savings at worse it is a break even! I did have to purchase a second sensor kit to place in the kitchen downstairs as our home has a branched Hot water line since doing so even our kitchen sink water is now warm to hot within seconds. I have yet to experience the so called major bleedback into the cold water line that some have stated happens that when they turn on the cold water it is warm to hot for a brief moment, either way even if I did it is still worth every penny for this setup!
I've had this one I purchased from Amazon for over a year now, and it is still working fine. Hopefully this one will last me a good while.
If you have a house where water gets hot in a reasonable amount of time in one area of the house, but takes forever to get hot in the opposite side, then you NEED one of these. I can't adequately explain how satisfying it is go to into my master bathroom (which, incidentally, is the furthest room from where the water heater is - thanks, builders) and being able to turn on my hot water and having nearly instantaneous hot water! As the saying goes, "it's the little things in life." I don't know why I waited as long as I did to get one of these. I always felt very guilty whenever I'd shower because I'd have to run the water for at least 5 minutes to have the water come out a decent temperature. I HATED wasting all that water, but I wasn't about to take a freezing cold shower, either. Now, with this guy, water gets hot enough to shower in less than a minute. And as I said above, since the return valve is under my bathroom sink, I can turn on that faucet and get hot water pretty much instantly. Heavenly.
I am pretty handy around the house - I do minor electrical & plumbing things myself. But I felt intimidated messing with my water heater, so I hired someone to install this for me (the first time). After watching them, I feel confident now that I could have done it myself. So, if you fancy yourself a handyman, you can probably do it yourself. When my first one went bad on me, I removed the old one and installed the second one myself with no issues. However, if plumbing stuff makes you nervous, or you're not quite sure if you're up for the task, do yourself a favor and hire someone. All that being said, it was a pretty easy installation.
Do yourself a favor - get one of these!
