Hot water recirculation pumps

Waiting a minute or more for hot water at the far bathroom? A recirculation pump keeps hot water close to your fixtures, so it arrives in seconds and you stop running water down the drain.

Stop waiting for hot water

In larger homes, and especially in single-story Florida homes with long pipe runs, the hot water has to travel a long way from the water heater to the farthest bathroom. Everything that was sitting in the pipe runs down the drain while you wait.

A recirculation pump moves hot water through the line so it’s ready when you open the tap. We install pumps on tank and tankless water heaters, with timers or on-demand controls so you only use energy when it makes sense.

System options

Most common

Under-sink comfort system

Uses the cold line as the return. No new piping needed in most homes.

Dedicated return line

The most efficient setup, ideal for new construction and remodels.

On-demand (button or sensor)

Runs only when you ask for hot water, which saves energy.

Tankless-compatible pumps

Matched to tankless units, with settings that avoid short cycling.

How installation works

  1. Assess your layout

    We look at pipe runs, the water heater type and where you wait the longest.

  2. Recommend a system

    Timer, on-demand or dedicated return, explained in plain English.

  3. Install & set controls

    Pump, check valves and controls installed and set to your schedule.

  4. Test at every fixture

    We time how long hot water takes before and after.

Hot Water Recirculation FAQ

Does a recirculation pump waste energy?

A pump that runs all day can. Timers or on-demand controls keep energy use low while still giving you fast hot water.

Will it work with my tankless water heater?

Yes, with the right pump and settings. Some tankless units have recirculation built in.

Do I need new pipes?

Usually not. Under-sink systems use your existing cold line as the return path.

How much water does it save?

It depends on your layout. Homes with long pipe runs save the most, because you’re no longer running water down the drain while you wait.
