How does Laing circulation pump work?
The Laing Pump is installed under the sink or faucet farthest from the water heater – where hot water usually takes the longest amount of time to arrive. A built-in temperature sensor automatically turns the pump on when the water temperature in the hot water supply line cools down to 77º F.
How does an under sink hot water recirculating pump work?
This system creates a loop from the water heater to the faucet and back again. The unused hot water is drawn back through this loop by the pump, so when you turn on your hot water faucets, you get hot water quickly. Water is not left in the pipes to get cold and you waste less water because you don’t have to wait.
How does the Laing thermotech work?
A built-in temperature sensor automatically turns the pump ON when the water temperature in the hot water supply line cools down to 85°F (29°C). The pump then moves the cool water in the hot water supply line into the cold water supply line.
How do I stop wasting water waiting for hot water?

Is a hot water recirculating pump worth it?
With the average national cost of water rising rapidly, a hot water recirculation pump could easily save you upwards of $50 each year. Since these pumps cost between $200 and $250 each, you could pay back the investment within a couple of years.
Do circulating pumps run continuously?
If you are concerned about how this constant operation might affect your energy costs for heating the water, there is no need to be. While the system is capable of running continuously, it doesn’t always do this. Most hot water recirculating pumps come with sensors or timers to regulate operation.
