8.11 RECIRCULATION PUMP REPLACEMENT
The SmartPlate Recirculation Pump is a wet rotor, continuous-duty Pump which has an
expected service life of 5 years. The Pump is located in the DHW side of the piping assembly
(Figure 8-25) to continuously circulate domestic water through the unit, even when there is no
DHW demand. If the Pump fails, it must be replaced to ensure proper Water Heater operation.
Replacement is accomplished as follows:
RECIRCULATION PUMP REPLACEMENT Instructions
1. Turn
OFF
the external power circuit breaker to the Water Heater and also turn
OFF
the
POWER Switch on the side of the ECS/SP Control Box.
2. Connect a hose to the DHW Drain Valve (Figure 8-25).
3. Close both Isolation Ball Valves on the DHW piping.
4. Open the DHW Drain Valve.
5. Open the Relief Valve to allow air to enter the piping while draining.
6. Disconnect the power leads from the Pump Head.
7. Remove the bolts on the Pump flanges and slide the Pump out from between the flanges.
8. When installing the replacement Recirculation Pump, ensure that the seals are in place
and are not pinched.

10. Close the Relief Valve opened in step 5.
11. Close the DHW Drain Valve that was opened in step 4.
12. Connect a hose to the Blow-Down Valve on the Inlet Strainer. Open this Blow-Down Valve
on the Strainer to vent air during the filling process.
13. Open the lower Isolation Ball Valve (DHW Outlet).
14. Next, close the Blow-Down Valve on the Inlet Strainer and open the upper Isolation Ball
Valve (DHW Inlet).
15. Reconnect the power leads to replacement Recirculation Pump Head.
16. Turn ON the external circuit breaker and set the POWER Switch on the side of the ECS/SP
Control Box to the ON position to return the unit to service use.
