TANK and TANKLESS HOT WATER CIRCULATOR

EASY 1 - 2 - 3 INSTALL

(Connect sinks HW hoses to E + F and CW hoses to G + H)

We identified the industries need for greener-efficient hot water circulators with install flexibility and control customization capable of satisfying even complex lifestyles. Placing efficiency and comfort first, and foremost combined with over 20 years experience engineering hot water circulators, we achieved our goals. In addition to providing consumers with twice the convenience of other hot water circulators our proprietary controller offers "on-the-fly" comfort temperature optimization. Consumers wanting hotter hot water instantly out their taps simply turn the temperature dial clockwise or counter clockwise to lower the temperature. After only a few adjustments, homeowners will have optimized their hot water system's comfort and readiness. Readytemp homeowners benefit from an optimized hot water lifestyle with unmatched comfort, convenience and water savings.

HEAD PRESSURE is a pump's ability to move a 1" column of water vertically upwards in a pipe. This being said a TL4000 system would be inadequate in pushing water up to a third floor since it's rated to 16' of head. The TL5000 system would be the better fit.

OPEN LOOP SYSTEM / MODEL DESIGNATOR "N"

COLD LINE USED AS RETURN

Homes with  NO DEDICATED hot water return line OPEN-LOOP systems use Cold Water line as return line

     TL4000N Small - Med size home Flow 1-14 gpm / 16' head

     TL5000N Large size home Flow 1-28 gpm / 30' head

INSTALL TYPE         LOCATION

     COMMON        Pump UNDER SINK connect as follows:

                             E and F - hot supply and hot faucet (interchangeable / either one)

                             H and G - cold supply or cold faucet (interchangeable / either one)

   ALTERNATE      Pump AT WATER HEATER or ON HW LINE REQUIRES ASSEMBLING (SWING CHECK VALVE, TEMP PROBE and SOLENOID)

                                Requires running 5 wires (2 = temp probe, 3 = solenoid 18 AWG) from control box to by-pass assembly connect wires to temperature probe and solenoid valve wires.

                     Using appropriate fittings In series connect (1) check valve, temperature probe and solenoid valve, install between hot and cold pipes anywhere near end of line.

The above illustrates that the pump can be placed most anywhere on the hot water line.  Beneficial for homes having easy access to plumbing lines in a basement, crawlspace, attic, etc.  Placing the by-pass valve assembly near the last hot water load on the loop ensures all loads on the loop are covered. This configuration is often a better choice for pedestal sinks or when space limits prevent a under sink installation. 

CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM / MODEL DESIGNATOR "D"

DEDICATED HOT WATER LINE (EXISTING HOT WATER LOOP)

Homes with  DEDICATED hot water return line CLOSED-LOOP systems use Hot Water Loop to return water back to water heater

     TL4000D Sm - Med size home Flow 1-14 gpm / 16' head

     TL5000D Large size home Flow 1-28 gpm / 30' head

 INSTALL TYPE         LOCATION

     COMMON       Pump AT WATER HEATER cold water in-let / drain spout (helps prevent sediment buildup at bottom of water heater)

                        Rotate pump head to achieve desired direction of flow (specify direction in comments area when placing order we'll do it for you, to minimize your project time)

                    Connect to flanges, install  temperature probe. (installing at last HW load on loop reduces demand on pump and water heater by eliminating repeatedly reheated end

  of loop where no loads exist.) to hot water loop.

    ALTERNATE     Pump ELSEWHERE ON LOOP (for efficiency install probe just after last hot water load)

EFFICIENCY-BASED ENGINEERING

Until now, closed-loop hot water circulation system pumps installed at the water heater at the end of hot water circulation loop.  When the last hot water load on the loop is a good distance away from the water heater installing at the water heater results in significant energy waste heating pipes where no load exist.  A majority of systems don't monitor temperature and simply pump continuously based solely on time-of-day.  ReadyTemp®'s efficiency-based engineering and unique design provide a number of energy saving strategies to reduce a homes water heating energy consumption as much as 50% or more (compared with system running 24/7 w/o temp control).  ReadyTemp®'s green energy saving features include;

• Strategic stainless steel temperature probe installation (at or near last hot water load on loop)

• Temperature based cyclic pumping

• 20 event time-of-day, day-of-week, weekend, every-other-day, etc. scheduling capabilities

• On-demand operation capabilities

• Simultaneous timer and on-demand (scheduled-off override) capabilities

• Easy wired / wireless multiple activation point integration (kitchen, nightstand, bathroom, laundry room, etc)

Implementing these features guarantees minimal demand on the homes water heater and pump operations while extending the life of the overall system.  Whatever the preference, be it hot water on-demand, scheduled, a combination of both or even continuous, ReadyTemp® is engineered with the essentials required to easily optimize system efficiency and hot water convenience.  Only ReadyTemp® offers superior flexibility in installation, activation method, activation location, comfort temperature control but, more importantly, the customization required for homeowners to live their ideal convenient hot water lifestyle.
