| Quick Hot Water Enhance your Storage or Tankless Water Heater with a Pump! |
Have you ever wished you had quick hot water while you run precious water down the drain waiting for the hot water to reach the fixture? A low-cost solution brings you quick hot water and saves you water and money!
Are you living with one of those residential plumbing layouts that require you to spend a minute or two waiting for hot water to reach you because your master bathroom is 100 feet of pipe from the water heater out in the garage?
Making maters worse, to conserve water you've installed water conservation products including low-flow fixtures and shower heads. Low flow fixtures mean long waits if your heater is located a long distance from your fixtures.
Save Water with a Hot Water Conservation Product, a Demand Hot Water System!
Demand system pumps send hot water rapidly through your pipes to the fixture without running any down the drain. The cooled off water in the pipes left over from the last use is sent back to the inlet of the heater through the cold piping.
When hot water reaches the pump it shuts off preventing hot water from filling the cold line. When you turn on the fixture you have nearly instant hot water without running any down the drain.
Save Money & Go Green
Water costs money. If you live in an urban area most likely your sewer costs money, and is included in the price of your water. If you have your own well, it costs money to run the pump. If you turn on your hot water and do something else while it runs to get hot, and you come back to hot, you are spending a lot of money on heating it.
Heating it costs more than the water itself...much more. With the demand system you eliminate this loss, reduce the number of gallons you pump or pay for, and if you have a septic system you reduce the load on the leach field.
For a typical household a demand system consumes less than $1.00 in electricity per year. This makes demand systems very green conservation products.
Tankless heaters need a demand system!
Tankless heaters take typically 10 to 20 seconds longer to provide you with hot water than a tank type storage heater does. This is because the incoming cold water must pass completely through the heater to reach full temperature, which takes time.
Typical circulating systems won't usually work with tankless heaters. They simply don't pump a high enough flow rate to cause the heater's flow switch to turn on the burners or elements. If they are big enough to do the job, then be careful because most tankless water heaters are not compatible with circulating systems and it can void the warranty if you use one.
This is not true for demand type pumps. The demand pump does not re-circulate the hot water...it just gets it to the fixture quickly and shuts off. They will not affect the warranty of the heater and they will get your hot water to the fixture more quickly and save you all that water.
Helping the environment
Pumping and treating potable water for residential use and treating and pumping sewage both require the consumption of energy. Consuming energy releases green house gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Reducing the amount of water and sewage reduces the amount of pollutants released into the air.
