Conserving Water And Saving Money
Every year thousands of gallons of wasted water go down the drain costing homeowners thousands of dollars. A significant amount of this waste occurs when homeowners wait for their water to reach a comfortable temperature before they shower or wash their hands. A simple solution to this problem is to have a hot water circulation pump installed.
Let’s talk about what a circulation pump is and what the benefits are to you.
What is a circulation pump and how does it work?
First of all, let’s explain how a traditional hot water system works. Basically water runs from the water heater to each faucet in the home but ends at the farthest faucet, leaving some water in the pipes to cool. When you turn on a faucet, the cooled water sitting in the pipes circulates to the faucet first, so you have to wait for hot water.
A hot water circulation pump, however, sends cool water in the pipes back to the water heater through a return line. A pump circulates this water through the water heater as needed to keep it hot. This continuous loop of water through the water heater ensures that hot water is always available.
How does this benefit you?
Convenience. You will always have instant hot water when you need it without the inconvenient wait. No more waiting while your shower heats up!
Savings. Second only to air conditioning hot water heating is the biggest part of a homes monthly energy bill. With a circulating pump you will experience annual savings on your water and energy bills.
Conservation. No more waiting and letting the water run for periods of time till it heats up. You will be using less water and saving one of our most important natural resources.
Features. A thermostat controls the temperature in the return line and automatically keeps the temperatures between 95 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit. A timer will activate the thermostat to check the temperature at built-in intervals. You can add an optional programmable timer that will regulate how often the timer and thermostat turn on. Homeowners can activate the pump during periods of high water usage, such as early in the morning.
