Grundfos Pumps is proud to bring the comfort and savings of hot water recirculation to the existing homes market with the Comfort Series Instant Hot Water System. The Comfort System includes a Grundfos UP15-10SU7/TLC circulator and the revolutionary Comfort Valve. The stainless steel circulator, complete with timer and 10-foot power cord, is installed directly to the hot water discharge on the water heater. The Comfort Valve is installed under the sink at the fixture furthest from the water heater, and the system uses the existing cold water line to return hot water to the water heater.
The Comfort System is designed to give homeowners the added comfort and convenience of instant hot water and reduce the amount of wasted water. Unlike our competitor's products, there are no pumps under sinks (and thus no power required under sinks), no return lines required, and no buttons to push. Set the timer on the Grundfos pump and stop waiting for hot water.

This pump should be more than adequate to speed the water that distance.
This sounds fairly normal. Lukewarm water may briefly flow from the cold faucets due to the wax valve. It is the only drawback to the system.
Yes, here is a link to the installation manual for this pump: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1294349331588/43377_PROD_FILE.pdf .
Yes Richard, there are great instructions that come with the pump.
No there is not.
We have experienced no additional noise in the house. You can hear the pump running (barely) if you stand next to it, and it does not seem to noticeably increase pressure.
This unit comes with a timer included, it does not require a sensor. The manifold tee in the kit acts as the sensor.
