Amber jacks?

My setup looks exactly just like yours. I also timed mine and it takes around 40 seconds without pump and 30+ seconds with pump in a low flow shower head where the valve is not installed, only saving a mere 10 seconds. i run the pump about 15 to 30 minutes before i shower. doesnt seem to make much of a difference. what am i doing wrong? do i need to install a second valve in the master bathroom where i take a shower?

Are those water pumps hot to the touch?

HI Dan, great video. I have a question - that little comfort valve that is under the sink. Can i get multiple valves and put them in every bathroom and just use one device attached to the tank?

Any pump issues if it runs continuously for say an hour or more a day?

Thank you for the video. Since hot water recirculates into the cold water pipe, once you open the cold faucet, isn't the hot water comes out of it and you need to wait for cold water to start flowing out? Or it happens quickly?

Klusterfu&k, not enough SST.

Why use the expensive thermo-valve? Why not instead let the pump sit at the far between hot and cold and let it pump for a few minutes right before you need hot water? I added a check valve for good measure. I used a cheap shower fan timer with 1 minute resolution. Clicking on 2 minutes once is enough to get the hot water from the hot water tank to the shower end. Gonna give the Alexa tip a try. Starting it by voice when jumping out of bed sounds cool (or hot, haha).

thanks

If you live in an older home with multiple remodels, and you are not certain which fixture is the furthest from the water heater.... can you guess? Or, can you place multiple sensors?

Im planning to install pump without return line

Do i need to add any extra valves or piping? Great video

Dove it in 1995 off the Sea Fox out of Wanchese NC.

Can I use this pump for Tankless water system

I'm thinking of getting one of these. Do you feel the same about it today as you did when you posted this video? Also, are you saying you have to run the pump for 15 minutes before getting in the shower, in order to get hot water from the shower in 30 seconds? If so, I get that it saves water (compared to just letting the shower run until it warms up), but it seems self-defeating in terms reducing startup time. Maybe I'm missing something.

Dan,hello, WE LIVE IN NORTH NJ, YEARS AHO, I FOUNF THIS IN A SUPPLY HOUSE FOR MY TRADE GRUNDSOS it only came with the pump & 1 bypass fitting,I had to buy my hoses, so I USED IT IN MY LAV ON THE 2ND FLOOR,SO BASIN,TUB & shower, so I wrote GRUNDFOSS, they sent me the second bypass,so I installed it on the 1st floor lav,so the kitchen also gained from that,,,, nowadays the mbox comes with pump,bypass& 2 hoses, gee no wonder, from complaints I guess, I set my timer,off @ 3am -6 am, works like a champ. I could also connect an AQUASTAT, IN SERIES. WITH THE PUMPSTRAPPED ONTO PIPING, SO IT WOULD STOP ON THAT,INSTEAD OF TIMER, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

U-85 was the bad story in which the commander of the USS Roper threw depth charges into the German sailors floating in the water. Therefore, none of the 40 crew members floating in the water survived.

Isn't this the u boat that was sunk and they buried the dead crew members in national cemetery in Hampton Virginia in ww2 ?

That cord isn't combustible?

No expansion tank.

Like how its piped in with no unions.

Get rid of the PVC piping on your relief valve. Use copper.

Great dive footage. You had good viz that day. I lived in Virginia Beach for several years and dove many Virginia and North Carolina wrecks. I could never get a charter boat that wanted to go to U-85 because of the choice of larger wrecks that were available to divers. The bow torpedo tubes are exposed because the bow was blown off by navy divers to recover the torpedos. I would have been very tempted to enter the torpedo loading port or the conning tower hatch a few feet.

Great analysis. Thanks

Considering maybe a timer switch in my bath remodel to turn it on.

I can't wrap my brain around a system without a return line to hot tank.

Wouldn't a Closed "Loop", system @ only 100 ft. give more time on wreck?

Awesome video, we took this a step further. You can set your Alexa routing so that any alarm set will trigger the pump. We use a tankless and it takes about 2:15 to get the system all the way up to temperature. The effect is by the time you acknowledge the alarm and get to the shower, it is ready to go. Have fun with that if you try it. We also have our bathroom timer fans set to trigger it as well. We turn the fan on in the evening when our kids are prepping for bed and the shower is hot by the time they go to use it.

dont buy the auto adapt version, nothing but nightmares, it has 2 sensors and they dont work for crap, i've been tryingto get grundfost to help me for two years and nothing, they say i have a defective unit which it's not. when this pump fails i'll buy a 100% pump and control it with an external timer. i also tested how long it takes to prime the lines, i ended up running the pump longer because after 10 minutes the lines cool down so much that when the pump reactivates it feeds colder water back into the water heater, which the water heater senses, then the water heater fires up. by running the pump longer it warms up the return lines more so when it shuts off, it takes longer to cool off that water, so when the pump triggers again, there's less of a chance of the water heater having to re-heat the cold return water. it's a tricky process but i'd rather run a 10watt pump over my 500watt heat pump or 5000 watt electric element.

Dan Schaller ordering Alexa around !!!!!!!!!!! SMART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the box says ‘saves money’. So you are saving money by not wasting water for waiting for it to get warm. But aren’t you wasting a fortune in your gas by having the water heater constantly be heating the water. Clearly I’m missing something.

Does the pump need to be plugged into an outlet on a dedicated circuit?

@9:04 ALAAAARUM!! lol

This is amazing. Thanks for the captions.

no thermal expansion tank installed???

Howdy Dan.. do you know if Joey had to remove water heater Heat Traps for this installation? For myself, I'm pretty sure I would have to deal with those, and all comments so far are leaning toward, 'won't work with heaters that have heat traps installed :-(

I have a Grundfos recirculating pump that was installed in 2005. It was original construction so I have the dedicated line. It must make a difference because I have instantaneous hot water so I don’t have to “preheat” it. I have an analog timer that is sooooo outdated. I am surprised Grundfos doesn’t have a phone app to control the system. I too run the system with a smart plug (Kasa). I don’t have the auto shut-off so I may look into the Wyze. As far as electricity usage goes, Grundfos claims it uses the same amount of electricity as a 25 watt light bulb (yes it’s more than most LED bulbs but far less electricity usage than some people realize although I would never let it run all the time).

What is the model number????

So since you don’t need a dedicated line, does the hot side push the cold back to the heater from the valve?

All the best..!!!Thank you for sharing! Hi from Travelly ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Nice video!

Awesome VIdeo! Are you guys Padi certified by chance? Since the excursions just scream out PADi this and that, not sure if they would accept another C card from a different agency

What a fabulous trip!

going on this same itinerary and suite class in 14 days - thanks for the sneak peek!

Thanks so much for the video and especially the Compasses. I know that takes time and I want you to know it is very much appriciated!

Love the music. We are going to Havana as a family!!! Any recommendations for the excursion or best places to visit or meet the Cuban people?

Very nice this video. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome launch video! Keep 'em coming!!!
