Hey bro I see you havent posted in awhile, hope youre doing well! Would love to see some content! I just got into trade and I want to be just like you, a bodybuilder and hvac tech. Stay strong and carry on bro!
Your video was easy to understand we have a Rinnai gas water heater and watched your video to have hot water to the sink.. We have a shower stall next to the sink. Will the hot water for the shower be as quick and not waiting like we do now??
What model of Rannai is this? I have the RL94i. I don’t see this information in the product manuals. It seems with my modelI would need a standard stand alone Recirculating Pump. Thanks. Great Video
Thanks for checking out my channel! I forget the exact model of this one but for this to work it does have to be the version that has a built in circulator pump. You are correct, otherwise you would need the standard recirculation method.
Do you need to add these at multiple locations (diff levels of the home to get hot water on demand at all locations or is just one comfort valve good enough at one location?
This is just the quickest easiest way to install under a sink. This part is designed to work with Rinnai specifically. Yea the water heater has a built In pump exactly. This is good for retrofit depending on how the house was piped up
On a New build how would you plumb that to a Zurn Pex Manifold system with shut offs to each faucet on the hot and cold lines ? Do you need a dedicated return?
So I didn’t think of that but I would say this is more to retrofit an older house of piping. With a manifold system I’m going to say a more traditional recirc would be best!
I know you probably already have finished your build but for others with the same question you can either run dedicated returns to each fixture that you would like the instant hot and have them connect to another manifold with one run back to the heater or run just a loop at the manifold since that hot supply from the heater would be the larger line with smaller home runs to the fixtures.
Hey! Thanks for watching my video. So as far as comfort mode goes, if you don’t mind the extra energy and gas consumption than this would provide hotter water on demand due to circulating the pump more frequently. If you were more interested in least cost to run that wouldn’t be the setting you would want. Hope this helps!
You should be okay of it's chlorinated tap. If you live in a big building with a complicated boiler system. There's risk of legionaries if hot water is below 140⁰F. Otherwise for single family homes, if you flush the toilet everyday or take daily showers. Legionnaires won't have enough time to grow. You could get a water filtration system. It gets rid of all the pharmaceuticals in the tap.
Great video Josh! Been in the trade 6 years and this is the first time ive seen this done, good to know!
Thank you!! Appreciate the support man, I’ve done a few of them and they seem to work pretty well!

Thanks for the interesting video.
Appreciate the comment! Thanks for tuning in 👨🏻🔧💪🏼
Haven’t posted in a while bro love your content hopefully you come back soon 😂😭
Thank you for the continued support! I will make more videos. I need to get back to it. It’s a big passion of mine.

Is it like a hot-cold bypass line? which we can make one by ourself? And water heater has a built-in pump?

Does the paperwork with the pump have the how to for the settings on the tankless?
The settings will all be in the water heater manual!

I just bought rinnai 199in system, do you recommend i put it on 5b comfort mode ? What are the pros/cons of comfort mode?

Does the water not get containinated in a crossover system?
Contaminated? Not exactly sure what you mean. No water in this system has the chance for contamination
I don't know about you, I grew up where you do not drink out of the hot tap. In essence that is what you are doing.

How long does it take for the cold water to come out cool?
It stays warm that’s the reason to have the recirculation
🤦 'Promo sm'
Huh?
