Our Professional Installation Process
Clean, Professional, and Minimally Invasive Recirculation System Installation
Expert Installation
A recirculation system must be installed correctly to work efficiently. Our process is clean, professional, and minimally invasive.
At Principle Plumbing, we use the best technology for our customers. For retrofitting existing homes, we proudly recommend the Grundfos COMFORT PM AutoAdapt Recirculation System.
Our Installation Process Includes:
- System Assessment: We identify the faucet that is furthest from your water heater, which is the ideal location for the sensor valve.
- Pump Installation: We safely install the Grundfos COMFORT pump on the hot water outlet pipe of your water heater.
- Sensor Valve Installation: We install the smart sensor valve under the sink, connecting the hot and cold supply lines. This valve is what creates the temporary loop.
- System Priming & Programming: We prime the system and set the pump to its intelligent AutoAdapt mode. We then test the system to ensure hot water is arriving at your fixtures dramatically faster.
This setup uses your existing cold water line as the return path, meaning no new pipes need to be run through your walls, making it a perfect retrofit for any home.
