Installation instructions
3.12 Domestic hot water recirculation
Although recirculation directly through the tankless
water heater is allowed, temperature stability is
improved by recirculating through a mini-tank as shown
in Fig. 40. By using the design in Fig. 40, there is no
recirculation of hot water through the tankless water
heater and therefore, does not affect the heat
exchanger warranty. Direct recirculation through the
tankless water heater is permissible, however, the heat
exchanger warranty is reduced; contact Bosch
Thermotechnology for further installation requirements.
The following drawing is provided to outline one
possible recirculation design using the water heater in
conjunction with an Ariston mini tank water heater. This
schematic is for illustration only and must not be used
for actual Installation without appropriate engineering
and technical advice from a properly licensed
professional in the locality where the installation is
made.

3 Check valve

5 Expansion tank
The use of a small electric mini-tank after heater (4-6
gallon size) should be used for this application and
designed so the pump will circulate the water through
the mini-tank and the building's hot water return loop
only. Timed or thermostatically controlled operation of
the pump is commonly done. Contact Bosch
Thermotechnology if further information is needed.
