- Does the REP199iP work without a recirculation line?
- Yes. Smart-Circ uses the cold line as a return, so it can recirculate without a dedicated return pipe. A dedicated line gives the best results.
- Can it be installed indoors?
- No. It is an outdoor unit and must be mounted outside. Indoor installs need a different, vented model.
- How many fixtures can it run at once?
- At 7.9 GPM it can typically run two showers plus a sink or appliance together, depending on incoming water temperature.
- What fuel and power does it need?
- Liquid propane through a 3/4-inch gas connection and a standard 120V outlet for the controls and pump.
- Is it a good upgrade over an older tank heater?
- It frees up floor space and gives endless hot water, but expect higher install cost and outdoor placement limits.
- Does recirculation run all the time?
- No. You set schedules or trigger it from the app so it only runs when you need hot water ready.
