Depending on the age and condition of your water heater, you might be waiting an eternity – or what feels like one for the water Pump temp to become “just right.” No one really enjoys that wait, it’s just that some people are more stoic about it than others.
Even if you’re well used to it, why wait so long – or wait at all – when you don’t need to? Especially when you can have an instant supply of hot water from any faucet or hot-water appliance without having to replace your water heater. It’s an affordable solution on virtually any budget that allows you to conserve tons of water, too.
What’s the answer? A hot water recirculating pump from Eagle Service Company.
How a hot water recirculating pump works
In a typical plumbing system, hot water is sent from the water heater to a faucet. When the latter is shut off, the extra water that was sent cools down in the pipes. The next time you turn on that or any other faucet, you’ll need for the water to hit the desired temp all over again.
With a hot water recirculating pump, however, cooled water is sent back to the water heater and is reheated. At the same time, a small amount of hot water is steadily being pumped throughout your plumbing system from your water heater and back again. And that’s what gives you hot water without waiting.
Recirculating pump benefits
Besides helping to calm your nerves, you can conserve huge amounts of water once you have a hot water recirculating pump installed. That also leads to a reduction in your water bills.
You also can expect a reduction in your electric and gas utility bills. Since less water leaves the tank, the tank doesn’t have to work as hard to refill and reheat, plus there’s less wear and tear on your water heater which should help extend its lifespan.
There are different types of recirculating pumps available with one just right for every home and family’s hot water needs. To learn more or schedule installation, contact Eagle Service Company today.
