Wasting Water and Time? There’s a Solution!
Are you tired of waiting for hot water to reach your faucets, only to see gallons of water wasted? This not only wastes a precious resource but also costs you time and money. Thankfully, there is a solution that can help: installing a hot water recirculating system. This system ensures instant hot water at every fixture, saving time, water, and money.
The Inefficiency of Waiting
In many Atlanta homes, water heaters are installed in garages or basements, far from the faucets on the upper floors. As a result, waiting for hot water can waste up to 15 gallons each time you need it, taking up to 5 minutes. A hot water recirculating system can help a family of four save more than 36,000 gallons of water each year.
How Does a Hot Water Recirculating System Work?
A hot water recirculating system includes a pump and valve that keeps hot water circulating through your home’s plumbing. A thermostatic valve creates a pressure difference that bypasses cold water into the cold supply line until the desired temperature is reached. This means hot water is available instantly without waiting.
Exploring Pump Options
There are different types of hot water recirculating pumps, each with specific features:
- Basic “Always-On” Pump: Runs continuously and uses about the same energy as a 40-watt bulb.
- Timer-Controlled Pump: Runs only during pre-set times to save energy during non-peak hours.
- Temperature-Sensing Pump: Shuts off when the desired temperature is reached, saving energy.
- Tankless Water Heater Pump: Specially designed to provide efficient circulation for tankless water heaters.
