Keeps hot water circulating
Good pump for the price, simple to plumb in with included accessories. It gets 4 stars for overall pump build quality, ease of installation and use, design and functionality and value for the money,

Sturdy Metal Upgrade with Trade-Offs
I’ve always wondered why Watts and Grundfos thermal bypass valves were plastic, so this metal one is a nice alternative. It’s rated to close the valve at 104°F, while Watts and Grundfos valves close at 95°F. That means it stays open longer, allowing more hot water into the cold line—good for keeping hot water ready but could lead to more mixing. Kind of a trade-off depending on what you prefer! It does come with the lines and hardware, so all you need is a crescent wrench to install it, which is a nice touch.
