Questions & Answers

Is the temperature sensor placed on the cold water entering the hot water tank or on the hot water pipe leaving it? Thanks a lot. ?

I would recommend staying as far away from this product as possible! It is in no way in compliance with its description! As a result of the presence of this noisy pump, I can hear it in any room of my five-bedroom house. Additionally, if you are in the shower when the heater starts working, the water will be extremely hot, which can burn you.

Is there a temperature sensor with this product? Could you please tell me where the box is?

In short, yes. The HLP and the HLP-S It comes with 1 and 2. If you are going to use Armiflex foam rubber to insulate the temp bulb, be sure to wrap it with some foam rubber. This is how I have found it to work

Purchase does not make sense
3/5

It's not a good engineering job. It was a bad engineering decision! While I have instant hot water, I have lost the cold water. If I open cold water, what I get is warm water. I need to drain about a gallon before I get cold water. This is what they call water saving, isn't it?.

Several locations have access to hot water quickly
3/5

January 2016 was the date for the installation of the smart control unit. Several of the valves were purchased from Amazon while the unit was purchased from another source. There are two sinks located about 40' apart from the hotwater heater in two different directions. This is what I installed There should be a link between both valves. There is a side that is very fast at getting hot water. Kitchen, on the other hand, is not too It is warm in the kitchen when the cold water is cold and warm when the hot water is hot. There's a valve there that needs to be removed, and I need to replace it, A miniature version of a line It is a storage tank for hot water. There should be no problems there after that. The unit makes a lot of noise, which is a bigger problem. I heard it alone, and it was loud. Although the pipe runs through the house, the sound carries because it is connected to the water lines. The smart thing detects when you turn on hot water during the night, and for at least a week it comes on for two hours around that time.
I emailed the customer support to find out what was going on, but I never heard back. In order to keep it from running during the night, I finally replaced it with a timer. It loses all the smart stuff it learned when you shut it off in such a way, so it needs to start over every 10 minutes, running for 5 I could go on I could go on.

A hot-weather word You should be careful when using Link Plus Installer
3/5

As a result of Pump installation was done by the plumber. Pass valve installation was easy, and I hired a plumber for design and installation of the pump. The system has been started and is waiting. I expected that the 'learning' process would be In line with expectations, the pump ran frequently. It appears to stay in the learn mode, though. Despite this, the pump was still 'learning' at 3AM two weeks later.
As far as I can tell, the problem is In this area (FL), the houses are plumbed with CPVC, and there is only a short section (about 18 inches) of pipe accessible before it enters a wall. It takes the sensor a long time to perceive a temperature change in CPVC pipe. In the manual, or on the website, there is NOTHING that explains what the problem is You can find information regarding this issue in this guide! A timer for my appliance was installed after I emailed customer support several times. My third option would likely have been to install the Taco Genie and add a remote control if I was aware of this problem.

This is not a reliable source
3/5

I had a working unit for a while, but the timer A replacement control module could not be found. The cold side of the tap has some very warm water coming out of it. My impression is not good.

Hot-cold dispenser scalded me
3/5

Installation of the device occurred while I was standing on my feet. Everything went perfectly according to plan with LinkPlus. In the kitchen, there had been varying degrees of improvement concerning hot water. Luckily, I was the first to take a shower the following day and not my mother, who was 93 at the time. A head full of shampoo blinded him, and the water instantly became scalding when the Hot-Water faucet opened I have turned on the LinkPlus pump. Despite staggering out of the tub shower without breaking the glass doors, I succeeded in getting out. On my chest and leg, there were some minor scald burns. As soon as I received your e-mail, I sent it in detail (and was polite) The President is to be notified by mail of our decision. Contacted the COO of Taco and followed up with a phone call to verify receipt of the email Send a message. I have not heard back from you after a week and a half. No response yet from the Vice President, Quality Services after I left a message on his voice mail today. My review does not purport to be a critical analysis of the film, but please do not accept my interpretations as factual. A number of updates have been made to the website. My conversation with Taco finally came to an end. Although I think Taco is right, I will have to give some more testing to see if there is anything unusual about my mom's plumbing that has caused this problem, but this will have to wait until I return to California and see what I can find out. You might want to test the water temperature at all intermediate faucets and showers as soon as possible after installation by forcing the pump to run and letting it run for 2 minutes. I have 3 minutes with you.
