Taco Hot-LinkPlus-e ECM High-Efficiency Instant Hot Water System for Domestic Hot Water Recirculation and Water Savings
The Taco Hot-LinkPlus-e ECM High-Efficiency Instant Hot Water System is designed to provide faster hot water delivery while helping reduce water waste and improve energy efficiency. Built for homes with tank-style water heaters, this system uses existing plumbing and does not require a dedicated hot water return line, making it a practical option for retrofit installations and residential domestic hot water upgrades.
The Hot-LinkPlus-e combines the Taco Hot-Link® Valve, the 006e3® hot water circulation pump, and the SmartPlug Instant Hot Water Control® into one efficient recirculation package. Together, these components help move hot water closer to the fixtures where it is needed, reducing the amount of cold water typically sent down the drain while waiting for hot water to arrive.
Powered by an ECM high-efficiency circulator, the system is designed to maximize energy savings while supporting convenient hot water availability. The SmartPlug control helps optimize pump operation by learning household hot water usage patterns, allowing the system to run when hot water is most likely needed rather than operating continuously.
For homeowners and contractors, Taco Hot-LinkPlus-e provides a simpler way to add domestic hot water recirculation without major plumbing changes. It is well suited for residential applications where faster hot water delivery, water conservation, energy savings, and installation simplicity are important.
