5 Pump sizing for circulation

The following section outlines pump sizing for domestic
hot water recirculation and tank loading. Only models
approved for such applications are listed in this section.
f
Pump must be bronze or stainless steel and designed
for potable water systems.
f
Size the pump according to the pressure drop curve of
your Therm model (fig. 1 below) and the loop pressure
drop tables.
f
Maximum flow allowed for tank loading through the
pump loop is 5 GPM.
f
Maximum flow recommended for direct DHW
recirculation is 3 GPM.
f
Maximum flow allowed for mini-tank DHW recirculation
is 2 GPM.

For direct DHW recirculation and tank loading
applications:
Run the system for 30 minutes to remove debris
from the plumbing. Then remove the unit's inlet
water lter to decrease pressure drop through
the system. If the inlet water lter, when remo-
ved, contains debris, it is recommended to install
a 40 mesh Y-strainer (installer supplied) on the
cold water inlet.
