In the retirement community I often work in (repairing shelving today, fixing doorbells, changing out smoke detectors) one of my clients, then tells me that there seems to be an issue with their Watts Hot Water Recirculating System. This is the Watts 500800 pump which is at the water heater in the garage, and the 596816 sensor valve kit which is under the kitchen sink. They tell me there's hot water at both hot and cold taps now.
Cross connection. Am I right in my guess that this bypass valve assembly needs to be replaced? The other possible scenarios would indicate that the pump is running all the time or too frequently, and as the home is 10 years old and this is their first problem with it...I don't think anyone's messed with the pump.
