    Recirculating pump
    I have an Armstrong Astro 25BS 1/2 recirculating pump hooked up to the plumbing in my new house. I am not getting hot water at the tap until I run the water for awhile so the pump is obviously not working. Is there any way to troubleshoot it or do I just need to replace it and have a plumber install it?

    To check the pump put your hand on the pump feel it is it warm and feel I if it is running, if not warm (Hot) not feeling any thing then the pump is failed not work, you would need to replace it, good luck.
