    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.

    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!

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

    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

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

    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!

    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
