Recirculation Pump Control - Rheem RTGH-95DVELN-3 Use And Care Manual

Recirculation Pump Control

Local codes or plumbing authority requirements may vary
from the instructions or diagrams provided in this manual
and take precedence over these instructions.
Recirculation Mode
Your tankless water heater has the ability to control
an external recirculation pump which recirculates the
water in the plumbing system to provide hot water
more quickly when a faucet is opened.
Two modes are available:
• Timer recirculation (Energy Saver Mode)
• Timer recirculation (Performance Mode)
If this water heater has wifi capability, additional two
modes are available:
• On-Demand recirculation
• Schedule recirculation
Information for setting up these modes can be found
in the EcoNet App.
NOTICE:
Recirculation control is for residential application only.
Recirculation control cannot be used with an air handler
or with multiple water heater installations. The maximum
temperature setting is 140°F (60°C) in recirculation control.
