The ECONO-AQUA low flow/low energy circulating pump is the most ideally suited unit for conventional instant hot water recirculating systems for the following reasons:
- Require only less expensive 1/2" return lines rather than 3/4' lines.
- Whisper quiet operation - basically inaudible during operation.
- Low flows combined with low energy pump motor (only 33 watts) insure maximum system operating savings.
Other considerations relative to installation of instant hot water delivery systems:
- Water (and sewer) disposal savings, without changing of your lifestyle, can vary from home to home from 22,000 to as much as 60,000 litres per year depending mainly on length of distance between the water heater to the farthest tap and number of occupants in the home.
- Use of low flow shower heads and taps required by a number of areas simply increases the wait for hot water to arrive at a particular tap, therefore, further justifying the need for an ECONO-AQUA instant hot water delivery system.
- For washing machines and dishwashers, hot water is available instantly when required rather than when the hot water finally arrives from the water heater, thereby improving the operating efficiency and effectiveness of these appliances.
- Once a non-insulated hot water line is fitted with say 850C it usually takes only 15 to 25 minutes for the water in this line to cool down to 350C or below when the system is dormant - thereby, again requiring the usual wait for hot water to arrive from the water heater to a particular tap if no recirculating system is installed.
Although the installation of a ECONO-AQUA instant hot water recirculating system provides specific economic benefits such as water savings, sewer savings, and water heater operating cost savings, over 80% of present users say they were also very pleased with the convenience and time savings associated with having hot water instantly available at the tap or shower and regarded this simply as a benefit.
The ECONO-AQUA instant hot water system also eliminates the need for additional instant hot water heaters in combination to the storage hot water heater, these instant hot water heaters are expensive to purchase, install and operate. Further the ECONO-AQUA system is more economic the run as it does not heat the water it just brings the hot water to the tap.
