no wait?How does the Comfort Series hot water system work?
GrundfosGrundfos "Comfort" series hot water system works in the following manner: The comfort valve is installed under the faucet farthest from the water heater. The UP 15 series recirculation pump moves the hot water from the heater throughout the pipe back to the heater through the cold water line. As the water heats up at the comfort valve, it closes. When a faucet is turned on, warm water is instantly available for use with no waste.

no wait?How much hot water can I save?
GrundfosTests show that a 2000 square foot house could save up to 16,000 gallons per year.

benefits?"I have multiple hot water branches. If I use the UP15-10S  series, how will I get water to all branches?"
GrundfosYou can order additional comfort valves for each branch.

 benefits?How much power does the pump use?

GrundfosThe pump is rated for 24 watts (equivalent to a small light bulb).

 benefits?Does the pump need to be located at the hot water heater?

GrundfosThe pump can be located anywhere in the loop.  The easiest location is at the water heater.  The pump has a 3/4" fitting that is a standard connection for water heaters.

benefits?How far in advance of needing hot water should I set the timer?

GrundfosSet the timer so the pump comes on 15-30 minutes prior to your need for hot water.

benefits?Could I still have locations in my house where the hot water side is still cold?

GrundfosIt is possible to have multiple runs for pipe from your hot water heater.  This is easily addressed by adding additional valves for these locations.  (The Pump kit includes one valve.  Additional valves may be purchased with no additional freight charges.)

benefits?Must the valve be in a horizontal position for it to work properly?

GrundfosNo.  It can be in any position.

benefits?How can I tell if the pump is running?

GrundfosThe pump is very quiet.  If you are getting hot water in accordance with your timer settings, the pump is running.

benefits?Will the valve work with other pumps?

GrundfosNo.  The valve is designed to work exclusively with the Grundfos Comfort Pump.  The use of any other pump will over pump or under pump the system, causing the system to fail and void the warranty.
