Ask a Question
Is this the best Grundfos Pump for a dedicated Hot Water Recir. Line?
Grundfos makes a lot of pumps suitable for hot water recirculation. The "best" one is the one which has operating parameters (flow rate and head) that match your system's requirements.
UP15-18B5 is a popular model for hot water recirculation applications, but you may also want to check out the Comfort Series circulators - these are specifically designed for hot water recirculation and depending on the model, may come with timer and/or aquastat.
