Making Domestic Hot Water Recirculation Easy and Effective

[@jasonbowman7190]

I have a water manifold block, could I use 12 individual pumps in the utility room with push button starting at each use location. I have a 3 level house and only use hot water for the shower, and go many days before I need hot water anywhere else. Trying not to leave hot water throughout the house if not needed.🤔

Jason, You could use one circulator and multiple Hot-Link valves. The Hot-Link valve will send the hot water only to those fixture groups where you install them. As for controlling the circulator, you could use the SmartPlug that would learn your hot water usage patterns and only run the pump for those time periods.

Hello, I do not have a dedicated Hot Water Return, one Hot water line goes up and splits into 2 lines going to each bathroom and kitchen. Do I need a Bypass Valve in each bathroom and Kitchen ?

Do I need a check valve to prevent hot water being pumped into my water softener system?

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpW9h3-medBopdk At what point does one need to add a reservoir tank (small tank water heater) or expansion tank to a system like this (tankless with recirc line)?
