When I open the cold water faucet at the sink under which the AUTOCIRC® system is installed what prevents hot water from the hot water supply line from coming out that faucet?
A. The pump housing has a built-in auto closure device which prevents water from the hot water line coming through the cold water faucet and vice versa. The only exception is that when the cold water faucet is opened during one of the intervals when the pump is running, warm water will be directed from the hot water line through the cold water faucet. The warm water flow, however, will last only a very short time and end once the water temperature in the hot water line reaches 95ºF, thereby shutting off the pump.
