Are you wasting water waiting for the hot water to arrive?
In a typical 3-bedroom home with four occupants as many as 34 gallons of previously heated water goes down the drain unused every day when people run the tap waiting for the hot water to arrive. Over an average 350 days per year, that's 11,970 gallons of water - and the energy to heat the water - wasted. (source: Laing)
It's not necessary!
A hot water recirculation pump installed on the hot water heater of your home helps to maintain the water temperature in the line. It's not complicated to install, and it's easy to maintain. The pump attaches to the heater and a small return valve is unobtrusively installed on the furthest faucet in the home. Because the existing lines are used, there's no added expense for additional lines. An optional timer keeps that hot water circulating in the pipes just when you need it most - saving energy and water.
