Recirculation Operation
The water heater is turned ON when the recirculation
pump starts operation. The water heater produces
hot water at the setting temperature. When the return
water temperature reaches approximately 15°F
below the setting temperature, the water heater and
the pump will turn OFF. The cycle will restart at the
approximate time interval in the table below based on
the temperature thermistor readings.
Energy Saver Mode
The Energy Saver mode operates as follows:
• Less energy consumption due to fewer pump cycles
• Pump cycles ON every 30 to 69 minutes
Performance Mode
The Performance mode operates as follows:
• Higher energy consumption due to more pump
cycles
• Pump cycles ON every 15 to 35 minutes
