Get Hot Water Faster for Father’s Day

June 12, 2012 by Dorothy Skinner 2 Comments

WaterSense Graphic.If hot water in your home has a long way to travel, chances are good you spend a lot of time running and running your hot water so it will come out of the tap. So many Americans are guilty of wasting water like that! Are you ready to make your life more convenient and eco-friendly at the same time? You probably need to talk to us about a recirculating pump. Let me tell you why Dad might be super-happy to lower his water bill this summer!

First of all, did you see the local water price increases for the Dallas Metroplex? That could get out of control real fast. Adding a recirculating pump, like a Grundfos, to your water heater line accelerates the flow of hot water through the lines when you turn the faucet. These can be added to multiple locations in your home, depending on how many water stations need to be addressed. 

Secondly, recirculating pumps run on electricity. There are several ways you can keep your electricity bill from dramatic increase. A timer, a thermostat, and insulated pipes will keep your hot water where it should be, when it should be, and not wasting one thin dime.

  • The timer only allows the pump to turn on at certain times. So if you only need hot water in the morning, you could set the timer for 6am to 8am. Then the pump would only recirculate the hot water during that time.
  • The thermostat turns off the pump when the water in the pipes reaches a certain temperature. Once the water in the pipe is hot, the pump turns off. When the timer and thermostatic controls are installed together, in series, the circulator operates ONLY at the preset clock times specified by the user AND ONLY when the temperature conditions of the thermostat are met. If either the timer control or the thermostatic control switch is open (off), the circulator will not operate.
  • Insulated pipes are highly recommended to keep from losing heat, and to keep from heating cold water pipes within close proximity. We recommend at least 2″ between cold and hot water lines.

Want to make Dad a happy camper for Father’s Day? Adding a recirculating pump to your water line is an original idea that will keep more money in his pocket this summer and make using the tap more comfortable all year round. Call 972-424-6479 and get on the schedule this week!

    I do not know why the water prices have increased in the area. Wonder if it has something to do with the drought.
