Hot Water Recirculating Pump 120W for Electric Water Heater System

I originally ordered the 15-9S pump, thinking I needed the volume for my water heater recirculation system. Forewarned being forearmed, I ordered the BSP (or G) to NPT 3/4" adapters, as I needed 3/4" feed out of the water heater, so I didn't want to use the 3/4" to 1/2" adapters that came with the pump. With the adapters, I had no leaks and no problems, certainly none of the problems that some have reported. I used minimal teflon tape (4 wraps or so), and the rubber gaskets that came with the fittings with no issues. The problem I did run into was the pump was more than I needed. It is rated at 120W at 30L/min, and I felt like the 15-9S was noisy. I could hear it through my garage wall, although my wife could not. With a circulation system that is fully insulated from the water heater through the house and back, all I needed was a trickle, so I decided the 15-6S with the stainless pump and multiple speeds was what I needed. I contacted the ZeroPone customer service and asked if there was a chance I could exchange the 15-9S for the smaller one I wanted, even though I was 4 months from the purchase date. (The extenuating circumstance was I was building a house and it was over 3 months before I could actually run the pump.) Not only did they agree to send me a 15-6S pump, they gave it to me with no return of the 15-9S necessary! It took me a while to get to installing the new pump, but it is whisper quiet and supplies more than enough hot water through the house, now at 40W instead of 120W. As another reviewer noted, there is no off switch, so I installed the pump on a smart plug and I have Alexa turn it on in the morning and off late at night. At 60 feet from the tank, it takes under 8 seconds to get hot water at my guest bathroom sink, and the shower is virtually instantly hot. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars and not 5 (Their customer service deserves 10!) only because the headline description clearly states NPT threads when it is not. Lower in the post of the pump, however, in the Q&A drop-down sections, it clearly states it is BSP threads, but you have to go looking for that information. I highly recommend this pump and this company, with the caveat of needing the correct adapters, also available on Amazon. The adapters can clearly be seen in my photos. The short video is only to give a sense of how quiet this pump is: I cannot hear it at all, although the water movement or my check valves cause a little noise. For the great comfort this little pump gives, at the purchase price and cost to run it, I'll put up with a tiny bit of noise!

Worked for me out of the box. It's surprisingly super quiet, was not expecting that. It's installed in the garage and I can barely hear it, if i cant hear it at all, standing next to it. Very very faint hum. Plugged it into a wifi smart outlet thing for control. Comes on between 6am and 10am, and 7pm and 11pm. Instant hot water in the whole house during that time. Seems pretty durable, no issues yet. Been about 6 months or so, on the same schedule.

Works great, easy installation, quality product, helps with cold water on hot start up, would recommend

Model 15-6s I have a heating coil attached to my pellet stove I use this pump to circulate water between those coils and my hot water tank. It works great. I did two things wrong when I installed it. I had the shaft pointing up and I also didn't bleed it. Yep I burned it up it took about a week. However, I did like the pump so I ordered two more one for a backup. -the brass fittings are a bit cheap/ lightweight they may not even be brass. This is what I took the one star off for. I will be ordering better fittings the exact same ones of better quality. - those same brass fittings seem like they have a solder connection but they don't the application is threaded only. If you apply a bit of pipe dope to the rubber washers the threads go together quite easily. I had no problems with leaks my uninstalled and installed this thing probably 10 times. - bleed screw o-ring is a royal pain in the butt. However it's manageable once you figure it out. I just relieved quite a bit of pressure before I tried to bleed it. If you don't the o-ring doesn't seat properly due to the water pressure blowing it off its seat.

Has installation requirements that limit how it is installed. Has different features that are not well described, trial and error. Gets hot. Operates very quietly. It has worked well ( for about two months).

This pump is complete junk and a huge disappointment. It started leaking in less than a year after installation, which is completely unacceptable for a component tied into a home’s water system. By the time I noticed the issue, there was already about an inch of water along the wall in my basement mechanical room. I was extremely lucky to catch the leak just one day before leaving for vacation, or the damage could have been severe. I had to make an emergency trip for plumbing parts just to remove the pump and reconnect the pipes where it had been installed. Poor quality, unreliable, and absolutely not worth the risk. One star.

Very impressed with the quality. Looks like an excellent pump built of high quality materials. I was unable to use it in my location because it required a horizontal position for the motor.

works awesome

Installed this pump on the cold side of water heater as a recirculating pump and last one day, it over heated overnight crating a fire hazard and melt the electrical box/switch. I also couldn't find instructions anywhere on how the Auto mode works or even how to program Auto mode. Well this pump is absolutely junk.

I like the stainless construction. I am using it as a circ pump from my hot water tank across a heat exchanger to heat my hottub. When the hot tub calls for heat, this turns on to circ hot water from my hot water tank.

Pump bought for home hot water and installed for instant hot water due to long distance to taps from hot water tank. Impressed with protective packaging. Very quiet and has no problem pushing fluid past a spring loaded check valve even on low speed. Glad I bought the stainless steel pump body over the cast iron clones available! Seems very high quality including the pump connection adaptors. Shipper dropped the ball but had to come through customs. 10/10

So far works ok. The manual is not helpful . No contact with manufacture

Looks like this was used before (bleeder screw had damage). No pressure coming out of this after priming. Pump looked like great quality. Need to try and return.
