What Is a Hot Water Recirculation Pump?

A hot water recirculation pump is typically made of bronze or stainless steel and is installed on your hot water heater, or at the farthest water fixture from the water heater, depending on the system. This pump keeps hot water circulating in your hot water pipes awaiting use. Typically, cold water has to exit your water pipes allowing heated water to circulate its way through. With a hot water recirculation pump, the water in your pipes will always be hot resulting in significant water savings.
