Efficient Hot Water Circulation Control For Optimum Hot Water Convenience
RedyTemp®'s limitless control customization and optimize-able temperature setpoint eliminates all-to-common problems voiced by users of other systems, like;
"the system only allowed scheduled times of convenience I need scheduled and on-demand because of my work."
"90F degrees isn't as hot as we expected and there was no way of adjusting the temperature"
"with the pump running all the time I was always waiting for cold water"
"it had no way to raise the temperature setting so it never really worked for us especially in the winter time"
Every RedyTemp® hot water circulator offers homeowners a multitude of choices in activation methods, readiness and comfort temp's to achieve their desired hot water lifestyle. Through system optimization, homeowners experience record hot water comfort and real-world convenience while minimizing demand and extending the lifespan of their water heater and circulation system.
OPTIMIZE-ABLE
COMFORT and EFFICIENCY
Adjustable Setpoint Temperature up to 118 F
TEMPERATURE SENSING and CONTROL
Inaccurate temperature sensing affects comfort and efficiency. RedyTemp systems utilize a "water contacting" stainless steel temperature probe for real world temperature accuracy and minimal pump operations. With the RedyTemp if you get more than 3 seconds of warmish water from the cold tap where the RedyTemp is installed, simply turn the temperature dial counter clockwise just a hair. Turn the dial clockwise if you desire hotter instant hot water. After only a few adjustments your homes hot water circulation system temperature will be calibrated to deliver the maximum possible hot water without suffering long waits for cold water. RedyTemp adjustments are incremental to 0.5F degrees. Unlike the RedyTemp® systems which lack optimize-able temperature control leave pumps to either over-pump (stops too late, too much hot water enters cold water line, now wait for cold water) or under-pump (pump stops too soon, user still waits for hot water). In either case, water is wasted down the drain and demand is placed on the home water heater, needlessly raising homeowners energy bill and shortening the lifespan of your water heater.
Note: Choosing a temperature set point does not limit how hot your homes hot water can be.
PUMP CYCLING ACCURACY IS KEY
| Pump Stops | HW / CW READINESS | Needless Demand @Water Heater From | Waste | Corrective Action |
| Too Soon | Wait / Ready | "very cold" city water enters WH during HW waiting | energy / water | Raise Temp Setpoint Slightly |
| Too Late | Ready / Wait | hot water fills CW line / CW line water enters water heater | energy / water | Lower Temp Setpoint Slightly |
| Optimum Time | Ready / Ready | NONE - minimum possible water enters water heater | - | - |

MOTION SENSOR ACTIVATION WIRELESS PUSH-BUTTON ACTIVATION
Simple Wireless Integration steps:
1. Connect 2 middle phone cord wires to screw posts on front of module "C"
2. Plug "C" Universal Module into wall outlet C = $30
3. Plug "B" Transceiver Module into wall outlet where wireless activation is desired B = $25
4. Press button on "E" Wireless Key Remote to initiate on-demand single-cycle from sink or nightstand E = $20
"D" Motion Sensor sits on counter points toward trigger zone or wall and swipe hand in front D = $25
uses 2 "AAA" batteries Quality DuraCell Batteries last 2 Years
NOTE: To prevent unnecessary activations aim sensor away from common traffic areas. Strategic placement / sensor aim can allow
a simple hand movement within the trigger area to activate a single cycle.
Benefits include:
No wires to run (system uses homes existing power lines to relay signals/commands)
Uses standard batteries available at drug stores, etc. (compared to competitor more expensive12v type that last few months)
For multiple wireless activation points throughout a home simply install (1) "E" and (1) "B" where ever remote activation is desired.
"B" is a Transceiver Module it "transmits" commands and "receives" commands. Commands are transmitted using the homes wiring system to cause Module "C" to cause a momentary connection of the phone wires connected to it. Only one (1) module "C" is needed at the pumps location. The wall socket prongs on module "C" are on the back near the top to prevent blocking second wall socket.
Push-button operation requires one "E" and one "B" at each remote location
E =
Wireless Remote; Push-button wireless remote,
easily mounts using velcro strip or magnet.
B = Transceiver Module;
Relay's on-command using the homes electrical wiring to activate "C".
Motion activated operation requires one "D" and one "B" at each remote location
D =
Motion Sensor; uses AAA batteries (battery life
1 year) place facing toilet / stall or other direction require a passing hand to
activate.
B = Transceiver Module;
Relay's on-command using the homes electrical wiring to activate "C".
In the above diagrams a user would push button "E" or activate motion sensor "D". The signal is received by "B" and transmitted to "C" through the homes existing electrical wires. Power line Command technology is not limited like most wireless devices which have limitations in range or obstructions, so you never experience problems of being too far away or line-of-sight issues experienced with other on-demand hot water circulators.
SIMPLE WIRED ON-DEMAND SINGLE-CYCLE OPERATION
The RJ11 phone jack on every RedyTemp allows for on-demand / push-button "single cycle" operation. If / when used in conjunction with a timer during a scheduled-off period, the push-button acts as a single-cycle override adding additional convenience to a families lifestyle. Wiring additional push-buttons is easy using a 3 to 1 or larger phone adapter "F" shown above. Cut one end off a standard phone cord, strip the two middle wires and connect to any non-illuminating doorbell button "G" or other type of momentary contact switch. Plug the opposite end of the phone cord into the RJ11 jack. Anytime the button is pressed the system will run until the temperature setpoint is satisfied and then stop. The system will not run again unless either the timer schedules operation or the button is pressed. Note: RJ11 contacts do not contain electricity, activation is by closing circuit / momentary contact
LIMITLESS PLUG-N-PLAY CONTROL
RedyTemp is designed with built-in quick and easy plug-n-play control customization. Most any outlet controlling device can be swapped out with the digital timer to achieve unique style of operation . The outlet control devices shown above are examples of the countless types on the market. These were all found on the internet, priced less than $20 each and typically available in big brand stores and home improvement centers.
