  Michael WatersAug 13, 2025
  If your Laing Thermotech Plumbing Product pump isn't turning on, there might be a few reasons: * The timer slide switch could be in the “OFF” position, or the timer clock isn't programmed correctly. In that case, set the slide switch to the “ON” position or program the timer clock. * The water at the valve might already be at the set temperature. The pump will turn on when the water at the valve cools. Verify the temperature setting on the pump. * The outlet may not have power. Check that there is power at the outlet and that the outlet isn't controlled by a wall switch. * The GFCI might be tripped. Verify the “TEST” and “RESET” of the GFCI outlet.

  If your Laing Thermotech Plumbing Product pump is making noise, consider these possibilities: * There may be air in the system. Turn off the ecocirc pump and turn on the hot and cold faucets/taps until all air is purged from the system. * There could be foreign matter in the rotor cavity. Unplug the pump, shut off the water supply, open faucets/taps to drain water, and loosen the screw ring to check for foreign matter. * The rotor might not be seated properly. Ensure the rotor is properly set on the motor bearing by pushing down on the rotor. * Water hammer could be resulting from the closure of the built-in check valve. Install water hammer arresters on the hot and cold lines.

  If hot water isn't instantly available at all faucets/taps with your Laing Thermotech Plumbing Product, here are a few things to check: * If faucets/taps are branched off from the main hot water supply line, hot water will take longer to reach them. * The water temperature at the valve might be at or above the set temperature. Verify the temperature setting at the pump. * The hot water source may not be producing hot water. Verify the temperature setting and operation of the hot water source. * If the distance between the pump and valve is greater than 150 ft (45 m), install a signal repeater / push-button to assist communication between pump and valve.
