1.4 DHW circulation
DHW circulation pipes increase DHW
convenience and reduce the water
consumption.
These advantages result from the
immediate DHW availability to the
consumer.
However, poor insulation of the DHW
circulation pipe can lead to substantial
heat losses.

From a pipe length of 7 m upwards, we
recommend the installation of a DHW
circulation with appropriate thermal
insulation in accordance with the Energy
Savings Order [Germany].
In accordance with the Energy Savings
Act, the DHW circulation pipe should
include a circulation pump, a check valve
and a time switch for shutting down the
circulation during the night.
