Water will only flow when there is a demand. Your pump uses a pressure switch that allows pump to run/stop when you open/close a faucet.
Turn pump switch ON and then it runs when there is a demand.
Water heater....
Takes 20-30 minutes for water to be heated to shutoff temp which is controlled by thermostat.
Cold water goes in bottom of water heater tank
Hot water comes out top of water heater tank
A bypass connections cold (bottom line) with hot (top line) so that water heater tank can be bypassed (winterizing/repairs etc)
IF you only have 2 valves on the backside of water heater....
OPEN the bottom one and CLOSE the one in middle
IF you have 3 valves
OPEN bottom one and top one-----CLOSE the middle one
