PLEASE READ:There is no industry standard for Unions. The various brands have their own unique style, which means you must use the unions provided with our spa pump. This will most likely involve cutting off your old unions and installing the new ones shipped with the spa pump.If your heater is directly coupled to the spa wet end, then our pump will probably not work as the union will most likely be different. Be sure to look at the motor voltage, not the voltage supplied to the spa to determine the correct pump voltage.When removing power cord from existing pump we recommend you mark your wires for "common", "High speed", "low speed".The pump does not come with a power cord. The connection diagram for the new pump is located on the motor name plate.The wet ends can be rotated by simply loosening the motor thru bolts and turning the pump head, allowing the discharge to point to 3 O'clock, 9 O'clock or 6 O'clock.Not Self Priming - Water must be above pump head in order to operate properly. 1.5" refers to the size of your PVC plumbing supply lines. It has nothing to do with the size of the union nuts, the size of the threads on the wet end or the inside diamater of the inlet/outlet. The PVC pipe slides into the union and is glued with PVC cement. 1.5" plumbing means you have 1.5" schedule 40 PVC supply lines (1.5" I.D.; 1 7/8" O.D. on the line)circumference = 6.5" (wrap a tape measure around the pipe). If you are unsure if this pump will work for you, please call us, we can help assist you in your selection.

Amtrol ST-12 THERM-X-TROL Expansion Tank, 4.4 Gallon (141N43)What Is Thermal Expansion?With modern plumbing codes mandating backflow prevention, thermal expansion can cause pressure buildup in domestic water systems. When demand is put upon a potable water system, hot water is drawn from the water heater. Cold water from the supply line enters the water heater to replenish it. The colder water is heated to replace the hot water used. With the installation of a backflow preventer, check valve or pressure reducing valve on the supply line, the water heater and the system piping form a closed plumbing system under pressure. As the water is heated, thermal expansion occurs. Pressure increases until the relief valve opens and the expanded water "spills" from the water heater. This "spillage" results in wasted BTU's and a potential safety hazard for the homeowner. Closed Potable Hot Water system without THERM-X-TROLBackflow preventer, pressure reducing valve or meter causes expanded (heated) water to build pressure causing the relief valve to open resulting in:; Wasted BTU's ; Shortened water heater life; Wasted municipal water and sewer dollars; Potential safety hazard for homeownerThe Amtrol THERM-X-TROL ST-12 Expansion Tank is designed to eliminate this problem by providing control of maximum pressures at a level below the relief valve setting. It also provides an additional space in the system to accommodate the increased volume of water created by thermal expansion, returning it to the system when hot water delivery is demanded. Maximum pressure is kept well below the relief valve setting by the THERM-X-TROL, with its pre-charged air cushion that is separated from system water. The relief valve does not open, therefore "spillage" is eliminated. Closed Potable Hot Water System with THERM-X-TROL Expanded (heated) water is absorbed by THERM-X-TROL which means:; Water heater and fixtures are protected; Eliminates BTU and water waste, saving money and energy ;

Permaspan PSC-2X 2 Gallon Potable Water Expansion Tank Review

(More customer reviews)The product was not the Watts brand item that I ordered. It was instead an off brand that I did not recognize. However, dimensions and fit up were compatible and the item seems to work normally.

PermaSpan Expansion Tanks are designed specifically for the purpose of accomodating the natural expansion in a Hydronic Heating System. To eliminate the water logging that is troublesome but normal in a plain steel diaphragm tank, the air and water within the tank is permanently seperated by a butyle diaphragm. The tanks are light in weight, easy to install, and afford many years of trouble-free service.

Watts 500800 Premier Hot Water Recirculation Pump, Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know why few stores carry this and few people are aware of this great product, including those sales persons in home improvement stores. It gives instant warm water to all the rooms in your house, it saves 10,000 gallons water a year (really, I measured and calculated) and it is so easy to install.
Doubt about if it really works? Try this: go to the farthest faucet in your house and open the hot water. Once the water becomes hot, close it, but not fully, leaving a very small stream. Now go to other faucets and open hot water, you bet, instant hot water! It'll keep this way as long as you keep that small stream flowing.
The problem is that small stream goes wasted. How about recycle it into the hot water heater? Sure, but how? The hot and cold water lines have the same pressure, therefore water cannot go from the hot line into the cold line. What if I add a pump into the hot line? Exactly, that's what this Watts product does. Problem solved.
For a practical and fine product, Watts also add a temperature sensor, so the recirculation only happens when the hot line becomes not so warm. This, plus the stream is really small, adds very small extra energy cost to the heater.
The pump is very small, only 25 watts, using less electricity than a lighting bulb. There is also a 24-hr timer (in 15-minutes increments), allowing you to shut the entire system off during the periods when you do not use warm water, such as sleep and work times. This reduces even further the already very small added energy cost. BTW, the pump is thoroughly quiet, no audible noise at all.
An alternative product is the Laing Autocirc. It is a single piece can all be installed under a sink, could be a better choice for some people. The downside is you need (to add) a AC socket there to power the pump. The upside is the pump does not operate continuously like the Watts; it is controlled by the temperature sensor and thus turns on only when water becomes not so warm. Might save some more Watts than the Watts. Both are available in Home Depot stores.
I cannot think of a single reason not to install such a system into any house. Instant hot water without any side effect or significantly added extra energy cost and saving tons of water each and every year. I wish I have done this long ago and this product will be more widely spread.
PS, a tip: before you start the installation, go to Rite Aid or alike store and buy a pack of Hose Washers for $0.99 (e.g. Plumb Craft by Waxman, 74-114, 6 pieces). After you unplugged the hose from the heater and before you plug it to the pump, you should remove the old washer and use 1 or, if the old one is very thick, 2 of the new washers (I had to use 2). The old washer was usually hardened by the high temperature; if you don't replace it, it will leak water. The menu does not mention this, so I learned this the hard way. BTW, hey Watts: for a $200 product, such washers should have been included.
