Thank you for sharing, I have a question: When we travel our water pump is normally on, will this method work if the water line is under pressure from our water pump?
Yes. This will simply circulate the water in the lines based on the temperature set. You need to have pressure in the lines, or you could start circulating air instead.
I see you turn the pump on with the switch and the thermostat turns the water off. Do you ever forget to turn the switch back off ? With the switch in the on position I would imagine the thermostat would turn the pump back on again once the water temperature drops.
That was part of the idea behind the design, so it was temperature controlled. If we are in a really cold place, I can use this to keep the pipes from freezing
@@EdwardCzajka Could this design be modified somehow to remove the need for an extra pump by simply opening a relay valve in a new hot to cold bypass line that drains by a new line to the fresh supply tank?
Thank you for this. I know this is an old video but it is exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you need a check valve so water does not flow both ways?
If temp control turns it off at 100 degrees then cold water will come out at 100 for a while, correct?
Hey, great job! Question: if you open the cold water you would get hot water? And if you need cold water then you would have to wait?

How long are the cold taps hot after running this? I'd imagine it's not long but still having an initial hit of hot water for 3-5 second?
Its like 5 sec and the water cools back off.
@@EdwardCzajka Thank you for the reply!
do you have a list of materials used for this project? I have an M185 myself and your videos have been very helpful.
I will add a list to this video description
Would you share your materials list?
@@EdwardCzajka Thanks for the materials list, but at leas some of the Leggettsupply links generate an error when clicked.
@@DellAnderson Oh No. Looks like the company went out of business
Will this work on tankless RV water heater?
I dont see why not
Need vibration eliminators. That sounds awful. Good prototype design though
Thanks, I did add dampers to the mount later.
Can you install this for me!? lol
