Instant Hot Water Heaters / Hot Water Circulation Pumps
Instant hot water for the bathroom/kitchen sink or even the shower is nice both for personal and environmental reasons. First off, it’s a pain to wait for the water to heat in a house supplied by your typical water heater. Second, it’s a waste of water to watch the cold stuff go down the drain while you’re waiting for the warm water to get to your faucet. This is why many people are choosing tankless water heaters or “on demand hot-water circulation pumps” today. It’s the latter (which is also the least expensive solution) we’ll look at today. These systems use a pump to move water quickly from the water heater to your tap (instead of being wasted, cool water is sent back to the water heater for reheating). The pump turns off when the water at the fixture reaches the preset temperature. Generally, you only need one pump for all the fixtures in your home, and there’s no need to install a whole new water heater. You install simply install the pump under the faucet farthest from your hot water heater, and voila, hot water on demand.
