How to Get Instant Hot Water with a Standard Water Heater
You turn the hot water faucet on and wait. And wait some more. And then after a minute or more, up to four minutes, hot water finally emerges from the faucet. Meanwhile all that precious water is wasted running down the drain. This process is repeated for countless showers, baths, dishes and other daily tasks all across the country every day. The average household wastes around 40 gallons a day or almost 14,000 gallons of water a year! This waste also results in increased sewerage bills which are usually based on water consumption.
If only you had a tankless on-demand water heater that would provide you with almost instant hot water. But those tankless water heater systems can cost thousands of dollars to install.
Well there's a way to get one of the main benefits of a tankless water heater, almost instant hot water for a few hundred bucks. How? By using what's called a hot water recirculation pump for demand delivery. This innovative little device allows hot water to be delivered to your faucet without having to wait for the water to run hot, while saving water and energy.
Let's take a look at why you usually have to wait for hot water with a tank type water heater how the hot water recirculation system is your "fast hot water" answer.
