D’MAND Kontrols® moves hot water through your plumbing when you need it instead of continuously circulating hot water throughout the day. When the system is activated, the recirculation pump moves hot water toward your fixtures while D’MAND’s temperature-sensing technology monitors the water. Once the circulation cycle is complete, the pump automatically shuts off.

The result is less waiting for hot water, less water going down the drain, and less unnecessary pump operation.

Yes. D’MAND Kontrols® offers solutions for both new construction and existing homes. There are systems for homes with a dedicated hot-water return line as well as retrofit solutions for homes without one.

That means many homeowners can add on-demand hot water recirculation without installing a new return pipe throughout the house.

No. D’MAND Kontrols® has solutions for homes both with and without dedicated return lines.

If your home already has a dedicated return line, D’MAND can control circulation through that existing plumbing. If you do not have a return line, select retrofit systems use the existing plumbing to create a recirculation path without requiring a new return line throughout the home.

D’MAND Kontrols® offers solutions for tank-type, tankless, and heat-pump water heaters. The best system for your home depends on your water heater, plumbing configuration, home size, and whether you have a dedicated hot-water return line.

If you’re unsure which configuration is compatible with your home, contact us and we’ll help you choose the appropriate system.

No. That’s one of the key differences between D’MAND Kontrols® and traditional continuously operating recirculation systems.

D’MAND Kontrols® is designed for on-demand operation. The pump runs when hot water is requested and shuts off when circulation is no longer needed, helping reduce unnecessary pump operation and heat loss.

A typical household can potentially save approximately 8,000–12,000 gallons of water per year by reducing the water normally sent down the drain while waiting for hot water to arrive.

Actual savings vary depending on household hot-water use, plumbing layout, distance from the water heater, and how long you currently wait for hot water.

The right system depends on a few basic factors:

Whether your home has a dedicated hot-water return line

The size and layout of your home

The length of your plumbing runs

Your type of water heater

How you want to activate the system

D’MAND Kontrols® offers solutions for a wide range of residential applications, including existing homes, new construction, homes with or without dedicated return lines, and larger homes with longer plumbing runs.
