EPI 15-15 - circulation pump
The EPI 15-15 circulation pump has a motor with a permanent-magnet rotor and operates continuously with low power consumption. Its compact, lightweight design allows the EPI 15-15 pump to be installed even in tight installation spaces, while the absence of a traditional gland seal reduces the risk of leaks at the motor-pump connection.
Who is it for
- Owners of apartments and single-family homes – continuous domestic hot water circulation shortens the wait for hot water at the tap.
- Heating and domestic hot water installers – the compact dimensions of the EPI 15-15 make installation easier in confined spaces, such as under-sink cabinets.
- People looking for quiet installation operation – the design with an enclosed motor and O-ring-based seal reduces pump operating noise.
- Operators of small domestic installations – constant, predictable power consumption makes it easier to estimate circulation operating costs.
Applications
The EPI 15-15 circulation pump forces hot domestic water to circulate in domestic hot water systems, keeping water warm at the points of use without the need to drain cooled water from the pipework each time. Continuous operation is suitable for small and medium-sized single-family home installations, where both the comfort of using hot water and low, predictable energy consumption are important.
The three-part design – an enclosed motor with a permanent-magnet rotor, a sealing screen sleeve between the pump and motor, and a static seal in the form of an O-ring – helps reduce the number of components subject to wear. The EPI 15-15 230V circulation pump is powered from a standard household electrical outlet.
Features
The EPI 15-15 motor uses a permanent-magnet rotor, achieving high energy efficiency with low power consumption – a maximum of 7 W, depending on the installation conditions. Unlike traditional circulation pumps with a mechanical gland seal, the EPI 15-15 has a static seal based on an O-ring, eliminating the most failure-prone component of a typical circulation pump.
The pump operates in continuous mode, without speed control – this is a fixed, single operating point, unlike models with a control knob. This solution works well in installations where it is not necessary to adjust performance to changing conditions and simplicity and reliability are the main priorities.

Frequently asked questions
What is the EPI 15-15 circulation pump used for?
The EPI 15-15 circulation pump forces continuous circulation of domestic hot water in the household system, so hot water is available at the tap without having to wait a long time or drain cooled water from the pipes.
How does the EPI 15-15 differ from the EBO 15-15 pump?
The EPI 15-15 operates continuously at a single fixed power setting of up to 7 W, with no adjustment option. The EBO 15-15, on the other hand, has a speed control knob with a power range of 2–9 W and an ECO setting, allowing the flow rate to be manually adjusted to the system conditions.
Does the EPI 15-15 pump require shaft seal maintenance?
No—the EPI 15-15 does not have a traditional mechanical shaft seal. Sealing is provided by a static O-ring and a sealing sleeve between the pump and the motor, reducing the number of components requiring periodic replacement.
Will the EPI 15-15 pump work in my domestic hot water system?
The EPI 15-15 is suitable for small and medium-sized domestic hot water circulation systems where continuous, constant operation is required without the need to adjust the flow rate. If greater adjustability is needed, consider models with a speed control knob, such as the EBO 15-15.
What is the warranty on the EPI 15-15 pump?
The IBO EPI 15-15 circulation pump is covered by a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
