    Hot water recirculating pump.
    I have a 2 story house. Had a previous hot water recirculating pump connected under the bathroom sink. Bought new one the box indicates to be connected to water heater which is in garage. Have I bought the wrong kind? Or can that one be connected to the sink upstairs?

    Hi Lauriliu

    It sounds like you purchased the wrong one, for sure! Here, for simplest installation you want to match up the exact same unit so the swap out is quick/easy. Have you put these units side by side and if so, how do they match up?

    Also, check by the water heater as you might actually have the right pump and it is only a recirc. check valve connector that is under your sink and it is only you thinking that is the pump, OK?

    Look around, post back if still unsure, OK?
