Hot water circulation pumps
Common Applications
- Domestic Hot Water Systems
- Commercial Hot Water Systems
- Air Conditioning Cooling Systems
- Solar Hot Water Systems
- Industrial Processes
- Heating Systems for Buildings
Hot water circulation pumps are versatile, serving a variety of applications. They maintain consistent hot water flow in domestic plumbing systems, reducing wait times, and support commercial hot water systems in large buildings like hotels.
In air conditioning and solar hot water systems, these pumps help maintain efficient operation by circulating hot coolants. They are also used in industrial processes to circulate hot glycol and other fluids. Additionally, they play a key role in heating systems for buildings, ensuring consistent temperature control.

FAQ
Should a hot water circulation pump run all the time?
Not necessarily. While some systems are designed to run continuously, many modern hot water circulation pumps are fitted with timers or temperature sensors to operate only when needed. This approach helps conserve energy while still providing instant hot water.
What is the life expectancy of a hot water circulating pump?
The typical lifespan of a hot water circulating pump depends on usage, water quality, and maintenance. Contact the Aline team for more information.
Do recirculating pumps use a lot of electricity?
No, most hot water recirculating pumps are energy-efficient and designed for low power consumption. Models with built-in controls or demand-based activation use even less electricity, making them cost-effective over time.
How do I know if my circulating pump is bad?
Common signs of a failing pump include:
-
No hot water at the tap despite the pump being on
-
Unusual noises (grinding or humming)
-
Leaks or visible damage
-
Overheating or tripping circuits
If you notice any of these, it may be time to inspect or replace the pump.
How much does it cost to replace a hot water circulating pump?
The replacement cost is dependent on the pump type, size and whether professional installation is required. Commercial-grade pumps may cost more. Contact Aline Pumps for a product-specific quote.
