I’ve been considering installing a recalculating hot water system for a while. My plan would be to put a dedicated re-circulating line from the furthest sink back to the hot water heater. A check valve and pump would be installed on the return line. I’ve been considering the Metlund S-70T . Can I just get buy a re-circulating pump like the Taco Model 008 and have the ISY control the pump? I could set rules to have the ISY turn the pump on based on time, motion in the bathroom, a light or fan turned on in the bathroom, etc.
With X10, I could connect red and black wires from the Metlund to terminals on a Universal Module (PUM01), set the selector switches to “Momentary†and “relay onlyâ€, and plug it into an outlet. Can the ISY communicate with a PUM01? If not, does Insteon have a similar module?
I'm wondering what kind of ideas you guys might have as far how to automate the system. Thanks in adavance.
