General safety information

  1. Installation, electrical connection and commissioning of the pump may be carried out only by qualified contractors and all general and local safety measures must be observed.
  2. Operating instructions and associated documents must be complete, legible and accessible at all times.
  3. Before carrying out work on the pump, read and ensure that you understand the operating instructions.
  4. This circulation pump is suitable only for water of potable quality.
  5. The pump should be operated only if it is in technically perfect condition. It must be used only in accordance with intended use, with an awareness of safety and risks, and in accordance with these instructions.
  6. Before any installation and maintenance work, disconnect the motor from the power supply and secure against reconnection.
  7. The use, cleaning and maintenance of this device by children aged 8 years or older, persons of restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or persons with limited experience or knowledge is permitted only if they are supervised or instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the associated risks. Children must not be allowed to play with the device.

COMFORT pumps are efficient circulators designed for hot water recirculation in residential buildings.

These pumps feature a compact design housing and high-performance permanent magnet with an integrated control unit. The spherical rotor, equipped with an impeller, ensures optimal functionality, supported by a robust single-bearing ball system. The pump housing, crafted from drinking water approved brass, guarantees both safety and reliability.

Equipped with built-in temperature sensor, the COMFORT pumps provide precision in maintaining water temperature.

Installation is easy with included cable for electrical connection.

The user-friendly interface, made with LEDs and pushbuttons on the front, offers an intuitive platform to display and set operating times and control modes, ensuring a comfortable and energy-efficient experience for residential use.


Operation and Control modes

  1. The pump operates based on set operating times and temperature mode, with operating times taking priority. This means that the temperature mode can only be active during the specified operating times.
  2. LED indicators display the actual time (yellow), operating times (green), with the smallest time segment being 30 minutes. In case of a power failure, the time pauses with no power reserve. However, the selected operating times and actual time are retained. When power is restored, the pump resumes its last set operating state. If the power outage exceeds 15 minutes, the actual time may need to be reset.
  3. When the temperature mode is enabled (indicated by a green temperature symbol LED), the pump measures water temperature during selected operating times. It automatically adjusts ON/OFF temperatures based on the maximum temperature measured in the system. For instance, if the maximum water temperature is measured at 113 °F (45 °C), the pump switches OFF at temperatures above 106 °F (41 °C) and turns back ON when the water cools down to below 100 °F (38 °C). The system's maximum temperature is measured every 12 hours during the first 15 minutes, allowing dynamic adjustment of ON/OFF temperatures.

CAUTION! Ingress of water will cause physical damage!

  • Ensure that the cable entry and cable face downwards after installation.
  • Select a suitable installation site and permissible installation position.

  • Avoid exposing pumps with temperature mode, such as the T, TDT and TA, to heat:
    – Maintain a clearance of at least 50 cm from the DHW heater.
    – If the return line opens vertically into the cylinder, install the pump well away from the cylinder entry.

  • Fit external shut-off (isolating) valves if you need to be able to remove complete pump without draining the system. Integrated shut-off (isolating) valve in pump housing is enough for motor replacement.

  • If you are using additional non return or check valve, ensure that is installed in the direction of flow and that has low opening (cracking) pressure of max 0.3 PSI (0.2 kPa or 20 mbar).
  • Shut off valve and check valve integrated. Check port to port length, connection type and other dimensions.

  • Line cord included.

  • Observe correct direction of flow.



DANGER! Pressurised system!

  • Before working on the motor or pump connections, close the shut-off valves.


  • When installing the pump, ensure that it is not under strain.

  • Tighten the fittings.

  • Rotate the pump control panel if necessary so that it is visible (cable exit underneath). To do so, slightly loosen the union nut …

  • … turn the motor …

  • … and retighten the union nut
    (max. 20 Nm).


  1. Fully separating the motor from the pump housing is only necessary for maintenance purposes (see chapters ‘Flushing and Venting’ and ‘Service and Replacement’).
  2. The pump has dry-running protection. If it runs largely in air, the PCB will repeatedly stop it to protect the rotor bearings. In a fully vented circulation circuit, the pump will run uninterrupted.

CAUTION! Dry-running will damage the bearings!

  • Flush the pipework thoroughly with water and vent it.


DANGER! Pressurised system!

  • Before working on the motor or pump connections, close the shut-off valves.


WARNING! Risk of scalding due to hot water!

  • Avoid direct contact with escaping hot water.
  • The pump housing can similarly reach a high temperature due to the hot medium being pumped.


  1. If no venting valve (fill & drain valve) is present, the system must be vented through the pump housing.
  • To vent, first close the shut-off valves.

  • Unscrew the motor from the pump housing …

  • … and screw the venting flange onto the motor (max. 20 Nm).

  • Open the shut-off valve upstream of the pump again and allow water to escape through the venting flange until the pipework is free of air.

  • Close the shut-off valve upstream of the pump …

  • … unscrew the venting flange from the pump …

  • … and reattach the motor to the pump housing.

  • Retighten the union nut
    (max. 20 Nm).

  • Slowly open the shut-off valves again.

  1. The pump is driven by a DC motor.
  2. The transformer for AC operation is built into the motor cap.
  3. Line cord is integrated in the pump.


DANGER! Electric shock can kill!

  • Work on the electrics must be carried out only by authorised contractors. 
  • Disconnect the pump from the power supply and secure against reconnection.
  • Check that no voltage is present.


WARNING! Risk of fire due to electrical ignition!

  • Ensure that the pump is connected only to the power supply specified on the nameplate.
  • To vent any remaining air, switch the pump on and off several times …

  • … and open the DHW tap several times …

  • … until the pump runs quietly.
