DHW Recirculation Pump Option

The domestic hot water circulation pump is an available option within the unit. The pump is added to minimize delay in the delivery of domestic hot water at the draw off point in a closed DHW circulation circuit. It is generally used in systems where the domestic hot water needs to travel greater distances to its draw off point. Adjustments to the pump settings should be done by recognized personnel only.

captionAir venting the pump The pump has an air venting function that can be activated by turning the knob to position 7 for 5 seconds. Afterwards the desired position can be chosen. The procedure will take about 10 minutes. The procedure can be canceled by switching to position 3 and then back to position 7. Audible flow noises indicate that there is still air in the pump. Should this be the case the air venting procedure needs to be repeated.
captionPump settings The circulation pump has 7 settings to choose from to accommodate different situations, position 1 being the lowest and 7 the highest setting.
