Installation and Operating Instructions

NSF 372 Certified
Thank you for choosing the Aqua-Flash Instant Hot Water Recirculation System by AquaMotion, Inc.
Please read and follow these step by step instructions to ensure that the system operates properly and reliably. Since the cold water supply line will be
used to return the cooling hot water to the hot water heater you will experience some warm water from the cold water line. Opening the cold water faucet
fully will flush the warm water from the cold line in a short period of time. After the Flash valve has been installed, system will need to cycle through from
hot to cool several times or overnight before normal operation is established.
Warning: This is not an anti-scald valve.
