Review on ๐Ÿšฐ PROZRTED Smart Instant Hot Water Recirculating Pump System HBS24-12 with Built-In Thermostat by Oscar Colangelo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but normal use of a remote control wasn't built into the design

Hot water recirculation through the cold pipe from the highest faucet in the house is awesome. Who thought of that? Why didn't I think of this many years ago? Great for saving water. Some complained about hot or warm water in the cold pipe when doing this, which is logical, but for reasons I can't exactly explain, this hasn't happened with us - when the unit turns off (in our house it lasts about 2 minutes ), in all cold water taps we have cold water. And since most of our faucets are below the highest one (where we have the pump), we have very hot water at each hot water faucet seconds after the pump turns off. Because our faucet can easily let air in at the highest point, I installed an air bleed valve on both the hot and cold lines next to the Prozrted pumping system. Luckily I have enough space under the sink for it. I used 2 of these Revain bleed valves: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V4W5CF4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Remote control of the pumping system was a must in our house. We have it and it works fine. But - I would give 5 stars if it was possible to control the pumping system from 2 remotes - one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen as others have said (like Kenneth Coleman). I emailed the company about this and wondered if a universal garage door remote could be programmed to do this, but they didn't respond other than to say they would ask the engineers. If anyone has any universal garage door remote learning they can try this please post here! Otherwise it can be done with a Smart Switch button, e.g. this from Revain: https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=SwitchBot+Remote+One+Touch+Button&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 but a simple universal garage door opener would be much cheaper and easier !
