Typical Hot-LinkPlus Schematic
Hot water without the waste!
The Taco Hot-LinkPlus for domestic hot water recirculation reduces the time it takes for hot
water comfort to reach showers and faucets by recirculating “cooled” water back to the water
heater; hot water lines remain hot. The Hot-LinkPlus can save an average family up to
12,000 gallons per year — water that normally goes down the drain while waiting for hot
water. Installation is a snap. Uses existing plumbing.
How the Hot-Link Plus works.
When set to “Smart” mode, the Hot-LinkPlus circulator
monitors and records the home’s hot water usage pattern
and repeats the pattern to cycle the pump, providing
instant hot water at all xtures only when needed. An
optional “pulse” mode can be selected which sets the
circulator to run for 5 minutes every 10 minutes maintain
-
ing hot water at all xtures. In either mode, an automatic
vacation mode activates when 36 hours of hot water
inactivity is reached. The Hot-LinkPlus bypass valves
unique thermal disk technology sends cooled water
back to the water heater so hot water lines remain hot.
Hot-Link Plus is easy to install.
First, install the Hot-LinkPlus bypass valve at the faucet
furthest away from the water heater. Then install the
Hot-LinkPlus circulator at the water heater. Once installed
connect the temperature sensor to the hot water supply
pipe and plug the 6’ power cord into any standard 120V
electrical outlet. Everything needed to install and operate
the system is in the box.
