Taco SmartPlug Instant Hot Water Control

The Taco SmartPlug (SP115-1) is a patented, plug-and-play intelligence control module engineered to instantly upgrade any standard corded hot water recirculation pump to adaptive, fully automated operation. By replacing inefficient mechanical clock-timers and imprecise aquastats, this smart inline control tracks household water routines to provide instantaneous thermal convenience while driving down active electrical utility overhead.

Adaptive Management Settings & Efficiency Modes:

• Algorithmic "Smart" Mode learning: Actively records and updates household hot water usage patterns throughout a rolling 7-day cycle. The SmartPlug applies the previous week's baseline data to prep and cycle the circulator right before high-demand windows open.
• High-Demand "Pulse" Setting: When activated, bypasses learned schedules to continuously cycle the attached circulator pump ON for 5 minutes and OFF for 10 minutes, maintaining rapid hot water availability across every structural fixture.
• Automated Vacation & Exercise Protocol: Intelligently senses structural inactivity; after 36 hours of zero hot water flow, the module triggers a standby vacation shutdown. While idle, it runs an internal 10-second weekly exercise cycle to prevent iron corrosion or scale lockups inside the pump casing.

Universal Retrofit Compatibility: Requires no electrical line splicing or pipe cutting. Simply strap the included external temperature sensor onto the primary hot water supply line, connect the sensor to the control base, plug the SmartPlug into a 110V wall outlet, and bridge the pump's power line cord directly into the unit.
