Type of review

My positive rating is for the stainless version I ended up using (RS15-6SB). I had initially purchased a non-stainless version of the same pump under a different "brand" (KolerFlo) and the issues I had are summarized below but I'm 99% sure the issues with that one would also apply to this BokyWox line so I'm including my review for people to hopefully learn from.TLDR: The non-stainless version WILL rust; try different versions (and different "brands") of this pump if yours doesn't seem to pump…

Pros
  • Offers quieter performance compared to other models
Cons
  • Can be affected by fluctuations in ambient temperature

works fine good for me

use hose /npt adapers on each end. Double up on hose washers on each end [4]and it will seal just fine and not leak. Requires electricity to operate making it less efficient during power outages.

Pros
  • Provides consistent water pressure for improved performance
Cons
  • Requires electricity to operate making it less efficient during power outages

Great pump - my new review

Used this in conjunction with a bypass for my bathroom and kitchen sinks, to have hot water at the faucet, and not waste water down the drain.

Pros
  • not sure how long it will last, i wish this review was after 6 months...lol....so far so good
Cons
  • The pump came with out the nuts in order to assembled

Easy install: my feedback

This was very easy to install and we no longer have to waste gallons and gallons of water before the hot water arrives at the tap. Very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Increases convenience by eliminating wait times for hot water
Cons
  • Can increase energy bills

Good Recirculator Pump

Purchased for a hot water recirculation line between master bath and water heater to have instant hot water at sink and shower. Used copper O-ring fitting flex lines to attach to pump and adapt to Poly pipe. NPT threads are not reliable to use and not leak. Major gripe is that there is no place to attach any mounts/brackets/etc. to suspend/mount this under a floor in basement. The only was is to use the pipe as support, mainly at the water heater fill pipe. Due to the nature of how the tank was

Pros
  • Features
Cons
  • May need professional assistance to install

Very quiet operation!

I used this to create a heater core flushing system using CLR and Water in a large pot with a suction hose and a return hose. The heater was only producing heat at about 90 degrees but after the flush it's back at over 130 degrees in all fan speeds. This saved me a heater core replacement bill of over $1000.00 !

Pros
  • Easy to install with NPT3/4' threading
Cons
  • Can be bulky and not aesthetically pleasing

Leaked - not true NPT threads

Disappointed that this could not be used with my tankless water heater to recirculate. Even with many wraps of Teflon tape, it still leaked.

Pros
  • Worked perfectly to recirculate a vinegar solution through our tankless water heater.
Cons
  • After the plumber installed it just doesn't work and got vey hot.

Using this pump to circulate domestic hot water so distant faucets have near-immediate hot water. Pump works great and is quiet running.However.the product description for this pump says "can be used in drinking water pipelines", and then says "not suitable for potable water". Which is it? For the model I bought (cast iron pump housing), it may be the latter. Even after the "3-5 times of use" there is still a taste in the water of chemical, where there wasn't any before the pump was installed…

Pros
  • Resistant to corrosion
Cons
  • Can be difficult to operate for some users

Just order it best in my review

Added this pump, a bridge valve under kitchen sink and master bathroom sink. Plugged this pump into a "smart” plug which is fully automated to now provide "instant endless” hot water from my new electric tankless hot water heater.

Pros
  • Efficient use of energy at 110V
Cons
  • Can cause fluctuations in hot water temperature

Unreliable causing leaks

It was difficult to secure a leak free attachment to the copper piping. A dielectric fitting finally worked; with copious amounts of pipe tape. I have the pump plugged into a smart plug which runs it for 3 minutes when i state ' hot water' with Alexa. The pump works great, saves water.

Pros
  • Unit did what I needed it for. I flushed a heater core.
Cons
  • Nice quite pump but beware the threads are way under sized. need lots of thread tape.

Works as intended but short life span

First one worked for two years exactly running 24/7. Replaced it with this same model because of size and convenience. Hoping this one will last longer because I have it on a timer programmer.

Pros
  • Also bought a five minute turn timer from Intermatic, instant hot water in the shower awesome 😎
Cons
  • Bad product
