The ALPHA Comfort System is a high-efficiency circulator fitted with a stainless-steel housing. It is built with an ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) for maximum performance . It is designed to circulate domestic hot water in systems without a dedicated return line. The Comfort System has a thermally actuated valve connecting the hot water line to the cold at the farthest fixture, eliminating the need for a dedicated return line. When the pump is in AUTOADAPT, it will shut down when the valve warms up and closes, eliminating the need for an aquastat. This small, compact hot water circulation pump provides instant hot water to the homeowner and fits with tank and tankless water heaters. The ALPHA Comfort System meets the energy conservation standards for circulator pumps the Department of Energy established, which will take effect in May 2028
