Never miss a beat

Waiting for hot water at the tap can be frustrating and wasteful. A hot water circulation pump helps solve this problem by keeping hot water moving through your plumbing system, reducing both water waste and waiting time. In this guide, we’ll walk through the basic installation steps of a hot water circulation pump and introduce Shinhoo Basic 25-6S three-speed circulation pump as a reliable example.

Step 1: Choose the Right Installation Location

The first step is selecting an appropriate location for the pump. In most residential systems, the pump is installed close to the water heater on the hot water supply line. This position allows the pump to circulate hot water efficiently throughout the system.

Make sure the installation area:

Has enough space for mounting and wiring

Is easy to access for inspection or future maintenance

Aligns with the flow direction marked on the pump body

Step 2: Shut Down the Water Heater

Before installation, safety comes first. Turn off the power supply to the water heater by switching off the circuit breaker. If you’re using a gas heater, shut off the gas valve or pilot light. Then close the main water supply valve to prevent water flow during installation.

Step 3: Install the Circulation Pump

Connect the pump directly into the hot water line according to the flow direction. The inlet of the pump should be connected to the hot water outlet from the heater, while the outlet leads into the circulation loop.

To ensure stable operation, it’s recommended to:

Use appropriate fittings and seals

Install check valves if required, to prevent backflow

Secure the pump firmly to reduce vibration

Step 4: Connect the Power Supply

Once the pump is mechanically installed, connect it to the power supply. A dedicated power connection is recommended to ensure stable operation.

Shinhoo Basic 25-6S is designed for easy electrical connection and features three manual speed settings, allowing users to adjust performance based on system size and demand.

Step 5: Test the System

After installation, slowly turn the water supply back on and restore power to the heater. Run hot water at several outlets to check circulation performance.

Be sure to:

Inspect all connections for leaks

Confirm that the pump operates smoothly

Adjust the speed setting if necessary
