    NPE-210A2: Recirculation short cycle with no hot water

    Hello! Couple of months ago I had the NPE-210A2 installed with NaviCirc Thermostatic Valve at the farthest fixture. For the first few weeks the system was working fine. There were times the valve would make a 'woop' sound which acted somewhat as a confirmation that it was working. Recently the...

    Navien NPE-240A Recirculation Question

    Hi all, we had a Navien NPE-240A installed in 2014, and have been happy with it. We did have a weird issue with water temperature being colder than expected occasionally, but it always went away. This year we switched to a new servicer who told us it had been installed wrong and was set to...

    We just had a Navien 240A tankless water heater installed to replace 2 conventional water heaters. Plumber said he would be connecting recirculating line to help speed hot water to far end of house that used to be on its own tank water heater. After he got all the piping done he said he still...

    Navien Recirculation Motion Sensor

    Hot water in sink faucet but luke warm in the Shower

    We have 2 Navien 240 A units cascaded and brand new. The problem: The main heater is set to 130° and the cascaded unit synchronizes. When I open the shower, we get near instantaneous hot water that I have managed to measure at 120° or more. However, the hot water gets to lukewarm within a...

    Crossover recirculation?

    I'm new with a tankless and not happy with the wasted water and time to get hot water at the shower head... My tankless has a built-in recirculating pump but only to be used with a dedicated return line. I do not have return lines. Guess I need to install another external pump on the hot...

    50-foot dead end return line: bacteria risk?

    Hey everyone, We recently had our house remodeled and we went tankless. We had the plumber run a (copper) line back to the water heater for a recirculation system, but ultimately we stopped working with the plumber and never installed the recirculation pump. Currently, the line just terminates...

    KITCHEN SINK HOT WATER ONLY GETS TO 85 DEGREES (WITH RECIRC IN)

    We appear to be having a problem with our bath line hot water ever since a new boiler with hot water coil and electric actuator controlled mixing valve was installed in late 2017. They installed a mixing valve board with an electronic controller, and the system had many check valves, but they...

    Recirculating pump installation question

    I'm in LA County, California. I'd like to replace the recirculating pump on my water heater. I have a dedicated return line already in place. Do I need to have a valve on each side of the pump? Currently I do not, but a plumber I called in to do the job wants to charge me an extra $500 to...

    Controling Navien NPE internal recirculation pump

    Does anyone know the logic behind how Navien controls their internal recirculation pump when it is circulating with an external loop? This would be with the second dip switch in the "On" position and the water valve in the "external loop" position. Here is what I want to do: Turn off the...

    How does my hot water reciculation setup look?

    I bought a Grufundos Comfort Home recirculation pump a while back (the old style with the manually set on/off timer switches). It has a built in temperature sensor and a small temp setting dial on the side. I'm finally getting around to installing it, and I wanted some feed back. I have a PEX...
