APPLICATION

The NEVERCOLD™ circulators are designed to deliver hot water instantly at the point

of use (under sink). Water savings can be as great as 12,000 – 15,000 gallons per

year with 4-5 taps in a home. NEVERCOLD™ circulator is designed to be user friendly,

reliable and to produce a professional installation.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. The NEVERCOLD™ kits are supplied with a

grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of

electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounding type

receptacle.

WARNING: When installing NEVERCOLD™ observe all applicable electrical and

plumbing codes.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect power prior to connecting or

disconnecting NEVERCOLD™.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. NEVERCOLD™ has not been investigated for use in

swimming pool or marine areas.

WARNING: NEVERCOLD™ is acceptable for indoor use only. Employer uniquement a

l’interieur.

CAUTION: NEVERCOLD™ has been evaluated for use with water only. The suitability

of NEVERCOLD™ for use with liquids other than water is the responsibility of the end

user.

For optimum reliability and performance please follow the installation instructions

outlined in this manual.

NOTE: Please note that this is not an anti-scald unit. There may be some warm water

in the cold water line under the sink where the circulator is installed. Once the cold

water line is opened, the warm water will disappear in a short time. (Longer hot water

lines may result in longer time for hot water to reach the sink.)

MECHANICAL TIMER OPERATION

The timer will turn the circulator on and off based on the times when hot water is

needed. This may only be in the mornings and evenings depending on the

schedules of the residence.

SETTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. To set the current time, rotate the outer ring until the arrow head lines up with the

correct time. This is a 24-hour clock so 1 to 12 on the clock indicates 1AM to noon

and 13 to 24 on the clock indicates 1PM to midnight.

2. To set the time that the pump will operate, move all the tabs outward during the

time period. (Fig. 1)

Example: To set ON at 7:00AM and OFF at 10:00AM move all of the tabs between

7 and 10 to outward position.

3. By following the instructions in step 2 multiple on-off cycles can be set.

4. The override switch has 3 positions. (Fig. 2) The “I” indicates the pump will run

continuously (24 hours a day) The position next to the clock symbol indicates the

pump will follow the settings of the tabs. The “O” indicates the pump is off

(not running).

REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLYCLEANING CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLY

NEVERCOLD™NEVERCOLD™ pumps are speciﬁcally designed to prevent solid particles from

entering the bearing / rotor chamber of the cartridge. However, in systems heavily

contaminated by dirt, construction debris, etc., particles may enter the chamber on

initial ﬁlling of the system and on rare occasions cause rotor blockage.

The NEVERCOLD™NEVERCOLD™ pump is designed to permit cleaning the interior of the cartridge

and de-blocking. To do so, separate the two parts (refer to #6 under “Replacing

Cartridge Assembly”) by grabbing the impeller and cartridge sleeve with opposite

hands and pulling apart. Clean (rinse) the two parts and re-assemble. Follow the

procedure under “Replacing Cartridge Assembly.” It is also recommended to flush the

system.
