What is a recirculation pump?

A recirculation pump moves hot water through your plumbing system so hot water is available faster at fixtures, reducing wait time and water waste.

How do I know if I need a recirculation pump?

If you experience long wait times for hot water, waste water while waiting for heat, or have fixtures far from the water heater, a recirculation pump may be beneficial.

Does a recirculation pump work with tank and tankless water heaters?

Yes. Recirculation pumps can be installed with both tank and tankless water heaters when properly configured.

Will a recirculation pump increase my energy usage?

Some systems may increase energy use slightly, but many modern pumps use timers, sensors, or on-demand controls to balance efficiency and convenience.

Does installing a recirculation pump require new plumbing lines?

Some systems use existing plumbing, while others may require a dedicated return line. The installation approach depends on your home’s layout.

How long does recirculation pump installation usually take?

Most recirculation pump installations can be completed in a single visit, depending on system type and plumbing configuration.
