4.1 Tools Needed

• Wrench
• Screwdriver
• Power source (smart socket if applicable)
• Mounting hardware (included)

4.2 Safety First

1. Turn off the main water supply to your home.
2. Disconnect any electrical power connected to the pump installation area.

4.3 Connecting the Pump

The HBS24-12Z pump is designed to be installed under the farthest faucet from the water heater in each loop. The pump should be oriented so its drive shaft is horizontal for optimal performance. Refer to the diagrams below for visual guidance.

Pump Inlet (Hot Water Side)

1. Disconnect the hot water angle valve from the water pipe.
2. Connect one of the brass tees to the pump's hot water inlet (marked).
3. Ensure the rubber gasket is correctly placed for a watertight seal.
4. Connect the water line to the brass tee.

Pump Outlet (Cold Water Side)

1. Repeat the same steps for the cold water side: disconnect the cold water angle valve, install the second brass tee, and connect the water line.
2. Ensure the pump shaft is horizontal.
3. Connect the power cord to the pump and then to a power outlet.

4.4 Post-Installation Checks

• Slowly turn on the main water supply.
• Check for leaks at all connections. Tighten if necessary.
• Test the pump in different modes (see Section 5. Operation).

5. Operation

The PROZRTED HBS24-12Z pump offers three operating modes and adjustable speed settings.

5.1 Switching Modes

To switch between modes, press and hold the icon on the pump for 2 seconds or more.

• Smart Mode (Orange Light): Instant hot water is always available. The pump intelligently maintains hot water circulation.
• Energy-Saving Mode (Green Light): If hot water is not used for a period, the pump automatically decreases the temperature set point to save energy.
• Manual Mode (No Light): This is the most energy-saving mode. The pump only activates when manually triggered.

5.2 Activating the Pump (Manual Mode)

In Manual Mode, or to trigger instant hot water in other modes:

• Turn on the hot water faucet for 2 seconds and then turn it off. The pump will activate, circulating water until the set temperature is reached. Instant hot water will be available in a few minutes.

5.3 Temperature Settings

The pump has a built-in check valve and default temperature settings:

• The pump activates when the water temperature in the pump is below 33 ℃ (91.4℉), pushing cold water back to the water heater.
• The pump shuts off automatically when the temperature reaches 38 ℃ (100.4℉).

For models with a remote controller (not included with HBS24-12Z), higher or lower water temperatures (from 32 ℃ to 42 ℃) can be set.

5.4 Running Speed

The product provides three running speeds. Briefly press the icon to switch speeds. When running, the gear is indicated by the rotating speed of the light bar. A faster rotating speed indicates a higher gear.

5.5 Smart Memory Function

The pump remembers the last settings when it was powered off, ensuring consistent operation upon restart.

6. Maintenance

The PROZRTED HBS24-12Z pump is designed to be maintenance-free. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity:
