By using a hot water demand system to make your plumbing system green you
save water, reduce green house gas emissions, and reduce our dependence on
foreign oil, and solve any slow hot water problems you have as a result of low
flow fixtures.
When you install a hot water demand system you will actually
feel good every time you use your hot water.
What is a hot water demand system, how is it green,
and how does it save water?
A hot water demand system is a green plumbing product that pumps the hot
water from your water heater to your fixtures more quickly than if you just
turned on the faucet full blast. The cooled off hot water residing in the
hot water pipes from the last time hot water was used is returned to the water
heater through the cold water piping.
When you want hot
water you push a button, and the pump starts pumping. When the hot water reaches
the fixture the pump shuts off, and you now have instant hot water without
running any water down the drain.
The pump is typically
located under the fixture furthest from the water heater.

What are the green benefits from a demand system?
By reducing the amount of water you use, you reduce the energy
required to process and pump both the clean water going into your home and the
sewage leaving your home. Reduced water usage and reduced sewage fees,
which are usually calculated based on the amount of water you use, result in
money saved.
Reducing the pumping and treatment
energy for water and sewage results in reduced green house gas emissions from
producing and using that energy. A reduction in energy
usage also reduces our reliance on foreign oil.
If you
have a septic system you will reduce the load on the leach field.
Dishwashers get your dishes cleaner when they get hot water right
off the bat. The number one reason for customer complaints to dishwasher
manufacturer's is the result of the water not being hot enough to completely
dissolve the detergent. A green plumbing product that helps you clean your
dishes. LOL
How much
water could be saved?
If each of the 50 million single family homes in America saved 10,000 gallons of water each year,
a conservative estimate, then all 50 million homes would save 500,000,000,000 gallons of water per year!
Five hundred billion gallons of water per year!
If you add in the apartments, condos, multi-family dwellings, and
commercial applications that number can grow to be quite large.
Tankless water heaters need hot water pumps
Tankless water heaters take longer to deliver your hot water to your fixtures.
The longer wait means more wasted water down the drain and more frustration on
your part over the slow hot water.
