RE-CIRCULATION SYSTEMS

Hot Water When You Need it

A re-circulation system is a system that reuses water by circulating it through a closed loop, rather than continuously drawing new water from a source.

Hot Water Faster!

The function of a recirculating pump is to ensure that hot water is always available as close to the consumption point as possible, in order to reduce water waste and to increase comfort

Longer Heat Retention!

Insulating your hot waterlines not only can help reduce heat loss and improve the efficiency of your hot water system, but it can also help to reduce your energy costs. By minimising the amount of heat that is lost through the pipes, insulation can help to keep the water hotter for longer periods of time, reducing the need for your hot water heater to work as hard to maintain the water temperature.

WHAT IS A RE-CIRCULATION SYSTEM?

A re-circulation system is a plumbing system that helps to quickly deliver hot water to faucets and appliances throughout a home. These systems can be particularly useful in homes with long water supply lines, as they can help to reduce the wait time for hot water and minimise the amount of water wasted while waiting for the hot water to arrive.

There are a few different types of re-circulation systems that can be used in a home.

New Home Installations

We use a pump to circulate hot water to the farthest plumbing fixture in the home and brings the cold water that was sitting in the hot line back to the water heater. through a dedicated re-circulation waterline. This leaves warm water in the line ready to be used when someone opens their faucet or shower. The hot water in the line only stays hot for so long and therefore 9.36. energy code dictates that all the hot lines in the home need to be insulated to help retain the heat in the lines for longer

Retrofit Scenarios

When access is limited and there is no way to run a dedicated re-circulation line to the farthest fixture in the home you still have an option to install a re-circulation system. A pump can be added to the top of the water heater that now utilises the cold line as the re-circulation line. This is really the second best way to add a re-circulation system as now when you use the cold line there is a short stream of warm water before the cold water comes out., however depending on wait times and water scarcity this is often a good choice
