Installation
Disconnect all electric power to the water heater.
Remove the front cover panel on the water heater.
Install the recirculation pump on the return line
according to the pump manufacturer installation
instructions. Install a check valve in the return line
as shown in typical recirculation pump installation
if one is not integrated into the pump. See "Typical
Recirculation Pump Installation".
NOTICE: Some pumps may have built in check valve.
The wire harness for the recirculation pump is
bundled with the wire harness from the control
board. Find a blue connector with a black and a
white wire.
To connect to the pump, cut the blue connector,
splice the wires, and add a 4 amp fuse to the hot
wire of the pump. Rheem recirculation pump kit
includes a molex connector and a 4 amp fuse so
splicing wires is not required.
Connect the ground wire from the pump to a screw
at the base of the water heater cabinet.
NOTICE:
Follow any applicable electrical code and the pump
manufacture installation instruction referring to the
Pump Electrical Connection Diagram in Step 5 of these
instructions.
Plug in the power cord or reconnect the power
supply at the circuit breaker box.
