What a Recirculation Pump Does
How instant hot water systems work and why they matter
A hot water recirculation pump moves heated water through your plumbing loop so hot water is already near the fixtures when you open the tap. Depending on your plumbing layout, this can be achieved with a dedicated return line or a retrofit crossover valve at the farthest fixture. The result is dramatically shorter wait times for hot water and less wasted water down the drain.
Modern systems use efficient ECM pumps, check valves, and controls such as timers, aquastats, motion sensors, or push-button demand modules. When properly sized and set up, a recirculation system can save thousands of gallons per year while maintaining comfort and minimizing energy use. ENCO Plumbing, Inc. designs and installs solutions compatible with both tank and tankless water heaters, and can integrate anti-scald protection when needed.
Correct sizing, smart controls, and code-conscious workmanship
Our technicians evaluate your plumbing to recommend the best approach: a dedicated return loop for continuous or scheduled circulation, or a retrofit kit that uses a thermostatic bypass valve under a sink to bridge hot and cold lines. We position the pump at the optimal location—commonly on the water heater return—add isolation valves and unions for serviceability, and incorporate check valves to prevent reverse flow and unwanted heat migration.
We also insulate hot and return lines to reduce standby losses, set up timers or aquastats for efficient operation, and offer demand-activated controls to eliminate unnecessary run time. Electrical connections are made to a properly protected receptacle, vibration is mitigated to keep systems quiet, and water temperatures are set for both comfort and safety. ENCO Plumbing, Inc. secures applicable permits when required and provides clear documentation and warranties.
Pinpoint diagnostics and fixes that extend system life
Common signs of trouble include long delays for hot water, lukewarm water at distant fixtures, a cold line that warms unexpectedly, noisy operation, the pump running nonstop, or higher-than-expected energy use. These symptoms can stem from a failed check valve, air in the line, a stuck thermostatic bypass, worn impeller or cartridge, faulty timer or aquastat, or incorrect balancing.
Our repair process starts with targeted testing to confirm flow, temperature, and control signals. We can replace pump heads or cartridges, correct wiring and controller issues, purge air, replace leaking gaskets, and rebalance the loop to restore even delivery. If a retrofit bypass valve is contributing to crossflow or temperature creep, we’ll recalibrate or replace it and verify proper check valve orientation.
Preventive maintenance reduces wear and energy costs. ENCO Plumbing, Inc. inspects controls and sensors, cleans inlet screens, checks expansion tank performance, verifies temperature setpoints, and descaling is performed when hard water conditions cause mineral buildup. Annual service helps prevent nuisance noise, extends pump life, and keeps your system delivering instant hot water with minimal waste.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently, both of our water heaters went out—leaking water into the garage and down the street. (Thankfully, we don’t have units upstairs…that could have been a nightmare!) Here’s what I discovered: the water heaters installed in 2013 (Home Depot brand) were no longer compliant with state plumbing codes. ✅ Now, with Enco Plumbing’s help, both heaters are properly installed with: • A dedicated cold-water line for each unit • The ability to isolate one heater if needed • An expansion tank that satisfies both heaters I had both Home Depot and Lowe’s quote the job, but Enco Plumbing’s customer experience and professionalism shattered the competition. Nothing cheap about water heater replacements, but I’m glad I didn’t try to DIY—my old setup wasn’t even code compliant. 💯 Highly recommend Enco Plumbing for anyone needing water heater replacement or plumbing work.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
