5 Pump sizing for circulation
For direct DHW recirculation and tank loading
The following section outlines pump sizing for domestic hot water recirculation and tank loading. Only models approved for such applications are listed in this section.
f Pump must be bronze or stainless steel and designed
for potable water systems.
f Size the pump according to the pressure drop curve of
your Therm model (fig. 1 below) and the loop pressure drop tables.
f Maximum flow allowed for tank loading through the
pump loop is 5 GPM.
f Maximum flow recommended for direct DHW
recirculation is 3 GPM.
f Maximum flow allowed for mini-tank DHW recirculation
is 2 GPM.
applications: Run the system for 30 minutes to remove debris from the plumbing. Then remove the unit‘s inlet water  lter to decrease pressure drop through the system. If the inlet water  lter, when remo­ved, contains debris, it is recommended to install a 40 mesh Y-strainer (installer supplied) on the cold water inlet.

Applications Manual
5.2 Domestic hot water circulation
5.2.1 Ariston mini-tank DHW recirculation
Reference drawing 9.2.3 on page 20.
If recirculating through an Ariston mini-tank only, use the smallest pump that will overcome the pressure of the loop. Recommended  ow rate within the range of 1 to 2 GPM. This method of recirculation maintains warranty.
f The tank and the Therm should be set at roughly the
same temperature.
f An aquastat is required to control the recirculation
pump operation. An aquastat temperature setting of 110° F with a 10° F differential is recommended.
f The recirculation flow must be <2 gpm. Higher flows
will waste energy and can erode the Ariston anode, requiring frequent anode replacement to maintain its warranty.
f To minimize energy costs:
1. Insulate all pipes in the recirculation loop.
2. Install a timer or sensor system that will shut the pump off when hot water will not be used.
f Recirculation loops over 200 feet in total length will
require an electric tank with a larger heating capacity than the Ariston 8 gallon model.
5.2.2 Direct DHW recirculation
Reference drawing 9.2.4 on page 21.
If the Bosch tankless water heater provides the
heat source for recirculated water , the heat exchanger warranty is decreased. Please refer to the installation manual for detailed warranty period information.
f Direct recirculation flow through the tankless water
heater must be above 1.7 gpm for best performance.
Flow can be verified in the diagnostic menu, mode P4-3d. Refer to the Diagnostic Menu section of your Therm installation manual for details.
System conditions vary and each pump must be
sized by a professional to insure performance.
Use only bronze or stainless steel pumps. Do not
use pumps of iron construction as they will oxi­dize and clog the inlet  lter on the appliance.
f When properly installed in a direct recirculation
application the Therm will regulate water temperature in a recirculation loop within a 20° F range. A thermostatic mixing valve is required after the water heater if no other temperature control is used.
f Closer temperature control can also be accomplished
with a recirculation pump aquastat. The Therm temperature setting must always be at least 14° F higher than the aquastat cut-out setting.
EXAMPLE:
Therm temperature setting: 122° F
Aquastat cut-out temperature setting: 108° F
To minimize energy costs:
1. Insulate all pipes in the recirculation loop.
2. Install a timer or sensor system that will shut the pump off when hot water will not be used.

5.3 Tank loading
Refer to drawings 13.2 and 13.3 on pages 32 and 33.
Tank loading pairs tankless water heaters with storage tanks to maximize peak  ow for high demand applications. A tank load system, because of the added storage, can provide a high peak  ow with fewer tankless units and lower installed cost.
These guidelines should be followed to maximize system output:
f Ensure flow through each water heater is between
3.5-5.0 gpm.
f Isolation valves or boiler drains should be installed to
facilitate descaling in applications with hard water.
f For best performance, plumb the system or configure
the tank to draw cold supply water into the water heater during hot water use.
f Maintain a 20 degree temperature difference between
tankless set-point and desired tank temperature.
f Do not use a cascading kit in a tank loading
application.
f When multiple tankless water heaters are used, the
total equivalent length of piping to each unit should be kept roughly equal. A reverse return piping scheme is recommended to equalize flow through each water heater.
f For tank temperature settings above 120° F, the Therm
C 1210 ESC is recommended. Other high capacity Therms including the 830 ES, 940 ES/ESO, C 950 ES and C 1050 ES can be used, but a high temperature kit (part 7736500074) is required for each. In these applications a thermostatic mixing valve is required.
