Taco SmartPlug Instant Hot Water Recirculation Timer

The Taco Comfort Solutions SP115-1 SmartPlug® Instant Hot Water Control completely revolutionizes residential domestic hot water management. Designed to seamlessly upgrade any pre-existing or new hot water recirculation pump featuring a standard 110-Volt power cord, this smart controller bypasses the need for manual programming, mechanical clock timers, or invasive pipe-strapped aquastats.

Intelligent Adaptive Control Modes:

• Algorithmic "Smart" Learning Mode: Utilizing an included external temperature sensor that snaps securely onto the hot water supply pipe, the SmartPlug monitors and logs the home's hot water demand cycles over a rolling 7-day period. It then matches that precise profile the following week, ensuring instant hot water is waiting at the faucet exactly when needed while remaining dormant during low-demand hours.
• High-Demand "Pulse" Mode: For busy households or unpredictable schedules, a quick button tap changes the device to Pulse mode. This configuration continuously cycles the connected circulator pump ON for 5 minutes and OFF for 10 minutes to maintain steady hot water distribution across all distant plumbing fixtures.
• Vacation Mode & System Exercise: If the external pipe sensor detects zero hot water flow for 36 consecutive hours, the SmartPlug activates Vacation Mode to shut the pump down and stop standby energy loss. To protect the resting pump, it carries out an automatic 10-second weekly exercise run to prevent scale build-up or rotor corrosion.

Universal Compatibility Profile: Works flawlessly with all Taco 00®, 00e Series® (like the 006e3), or any competitive line of bronze/stainless steel open-loop domestic circulator pumps utilizing a standard power cord configuration. Saves up to 12,000 gallons of water per household annually by removing fixture purging times.
