Best pump for tankless recirculation I have purchased few of them. I do mostly tankless service calls, this one is a must have in my truck. Old ones fail due to dummy plumbers. Guys-bleed the air out of the system and those pumps will last forever.

Excellent pump! I bought this for a DHW recirculating application. The high flow of this pump allows minimizing delay of hot water to faucets when triggered by turning on a light in the respective bathroom one is using via a smart home hub and outlet.

Great pump, cheesy plastic This stainless pump is a workhorse and worth the money. BUT, one drawback is how thin and brittle the plastic electrical housing is. It's easily cracked in shipping and you need to handle it carefully when installing. The plastic switch which changes speeds is equally bad. You sometimes think you'll break the tiny handle before the switch moves. But this is only my 2nd replacement in 16 years on my 3 zone system, so that's pretty good.

Ask a Question
where is the check valve located?
Check valve is a little white plastic part inside the volute opening, right at the flange. If you look at the product picture, you will be able to see it.
