Hot Water Recirculating Pump in San Antonio, TX
Frustrated by having to leave the cold water running for minutes until your shower feels warm enough to hop in? Homeowners looking to solve the problem of slow arriving hot water will be thrilled with a hot water recirculating pump, installed by a licensed ABC plumber.
If your bathroom has a sink fixture, shower or tub located a good distance from your water heater, hot water has to travel a long way. A small hot water recirculating pump might be the solution you need to avoid letting a valuable resource down the drain and driving up the cost of your water bill. A hot water recirculating pump keeps hot water continuously available with very little wait time and wasted water when you turn on the faucet. Most bathrooms can accommodate one, and the space demand is so minimal, they can fit inside most small bathroom cabinets or closets.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s an electric device that functions like any pump that moves water. Unlike traditional systems that waste cold water, demand systems use a pump to return cooled water to the water heater, saving energy and water. The pump sends the cooled down water that’s furthest from the water heater in your hot water pipe back to the water heater, instead of just sending it down the drain.
With a recirculating pump in your home, you’ll receive:
- Reduced Wait Time: Eliminates the wait for hot water at distant fixtures and prevents cold water waste.
- Water and Energy Savings: System recycles cooled water back to the heater, reducing water waste and lowering energy costs.
- Control Features: Activate the system via buttons, timers, or motion sensors as needed.
In most cases, yes. There needs to be a water heater in a home for installation, and there needs to be electricity to make the pump run. There’s a small amount of space taken up by the pump, and some kind of switch to turn on the pump must be mounted. Most installations are simple, and pumps can compactly fit inside a small cabinet or closet.
In most cases, yes. There may be some rare applications where a bathroom might not allow for it to be plumbed, but most of the time, one pump in one bathroom will work for all water outlets in that particular bathroom.
No, but bathrooms are the most common place a hot water recirculating pump is used. A utility room with hot water fixture, outdoor shower or outdoor sink are some other areas of potential use.
This work is best performed by licensed plumbers and electricians. Done incorrectly, water damage and even fire or other electrical damage can occur. Homeowner policies & insurance companies can take a dim view of claim damage when the work is a result of improper installation.
Every installation is unique, but most homes can outfit one bathroom with a hot water recirculating pump for around $800, if electricity access is easy. Location of bathroom, extended electrical work, and physical access to areas in and around bathroom and pump can impact the total cost.

Prices for their services are reasonable and comparable to other providers we have used in the past. Where ABC stands out is in their customer service and communication.

Everyone we have dealt with to date, from sales reps to customer service personnel to onsite techs, have been helpful and responsive. It's easy to get the right party on the phone when you have a question or want to tweak a service. Their online customer portal and phone app make it easy to keep up with the status of contracted services and appointments. On appointment days you can track the status of your service tech through arrival and they always provide follow up text messages from the technician to notify you when work is completed.
