Circulation Pumps

Do you find yourself dipping your toe into the shower, waiting for it to get hot? Does it feel like forever before your kitchen sink gets warm enough to do the dishes? If you answered “yes,” you might want to consider a hot water recirculation pump. These devices provide almost instant access to hot water the moment you turn on the tap, bringing both luxury and convenience to your fingertips.

Not only do they make your daily routines more comfortable, but they also help reduce water waste by eliminating the need to run the faucet while waiting for hot water. With a hot water recirculation pump, you can save time, water, and energy—all while enjoying the convenience of hot water on demand.

Professional Circulation Pump Installation

Most homes rely on the natural pressure of the water lines to deliver hot water. While this is usually sufficient, adding a recirculation pump can significantly improve performance. Instead of depending solely on low-pressure lines, a recirculation pump increases flow and ensures hot water reaches your fixtures faster.

By continuously circulating hot water through your plumbing system, a recirculation pump eliminates long wait times at the tap, reduces water waste, and provides instant comfort and convenience. Whether you’re washing dishes, taking a shower, or running multiple fixtures at once, a recirculation pump keeps hot water ready when you need it.

Circulation Pumps

Circulation pumps can enhance your daily routine by ensuring hot water is readily available when you need it, eliminating the wait time for water to heat up at your faucets or showers. This provides convenience but also helps conserve water, as you won’t have to let cold water run down the drain. These pumps can also improve the efficiency of your plumbing system, reduce energy waste, and create a more comfortable and eco-friendly home environment.

Serving Chicago & Northern Suburbs

If you’re looking for a simple upgrade that adds tremendous value to your home, a recirculation pump might be exactly what you need. These pumps are affordable, and installation is usually straightforward. While every plumbing system is different, a recirculation pump brings instant convenience and a touch of luxury—right at your tap.

There are different types of systems depending on your needs and setup. Whether it’s a home, business or new construction, we can help.

Continuous or On-Demand Circulation – The pump moves hot water from the water heater through the pipes and back again via a dedicated return line or through the cold water line in systems without a return pipe.

Thermostat or Timer Control – Some pumps run continuously, while others operate on a timer or thermostat to reduce energy usage by only running when needed.

Check Valve Prevention – A check valve ensures that water flows in the correct direction and prevents cold water from mixing into the hot water lines.

Sensor-based Activation (Smart Pumps) – Newer recirculation pumps have motion sensors or temperature sensors that activate only when there is a demand for hot water.
