demand recirculation is not incorporated. A system that incorporates a continuous recirculation due to timer settings, excessive heat loss of the loop or aquastat / thermostat setting will be treated as a continuous circulation system and have a reduced warranty of 3 years.

On-demand recirculation is defined as a hot water re-circulating loop or system that utilizes existing hot and cold lines or a dedicated return line, and only activates when hot water is used. It can be activated by a push button, motion sensor, or voice activation but not by a temperature sensor. A timer added to a standard re-circulating pump is not considered as on-demand.

#The warranty for a heat exchanger used in a circulation system which is controlled through an aquastat / thermostat, or timer, or an on-demand system is 12 years for residential applications.

Use of a Main Controller/Commercial control (p/n 239-48789-00) in a residential dwelling will reduce the warranty coverage to that of a commercial warranty application.
