How many circulating pumps do I need?
1 GPM = 10,000 BTU/hr, meaning that for every 10,000 BTU's of heat load the circulator must output a 1 gallon per minute flow. Assuming that system calls for 100,000 BTU/hr, a circulator pump should have a minimum 10 Gallons Per Minute flow rate at a given pressure drop.
How much does it cost to install a recirculating pump?
How much does it cost to install a recirculation pump? It will cost from $500 to $1000 to install a recirculating pump if you hire a plumber. But of course, it can end up costing as low as zero dollars if you get an under sink recirculating pump and install it yourself.

Does a circulator pump push or pull?
The pump pulls water in through the inlet and pushes it out through the outlet. Typically, there will be an arrow on the casing to identify the direction of flow so you know which is the inlet and outlet.
Can a circulator pump be installed upside down?
As long as the arrow on the pump is facing the same direction as the water should be flowing, it shouldn't make a difference if the name plate is upside down or right side up, as long as the pump doesn't have any oil ports.
Do circulator pumps go on supply or return?
Put simply, always pump away from your expansion tank. So if you've correctly positioned your expansion device on the supply side of the system then your circulator will always be on the supply side as well, albeit downstream.
Where should a circulation pump be placed?
If you had a circulation pump you would position it on the right side so it also points left (same direction as the filter). Positioning it anywhere else or in some cases the opposite end, will cause negative flow and effectively stop most of the circulation.Mar 8, 2014
