3.1 Introduction

All Grundfos Comfort Systems are carefully 
inspected and tested before shipment in order to 
ensure long, efficient, trouble-free service. 
For maximum performance and reliability, 
please follow the instructions in this manual.

A Grundfos Comfort System hot water 
recirculation system is designed to bring hot 
water in an instant to the hot water faucets in 
your home.

Since the system utilizes the existing cold water 
return line in the home, no separate new return 
line is required. No electricity is required under 
the sink.

The Grundfos Comfort System includes a 
circulator pump that installs on the water heater 
in your home, plus a valve that installs at the 
furthest faucet.

The direction of flow moves from the water 
heater through the recirculation pump, through 
the hot water supply line, and then back to the 
water heater through the existing cold water 
return line.
