Upgrading your hot water system to include a recirculating pump and thermal sensors has never been more affordable and the benefits justify the cost hands-down.
Even Southern Californians get chilled to the bone in winter months. My AI Bluetooth device told me this morning. It was 37° when I got up. That’s getting pretty cold for us in Lakewood. Granted, it’s not as cold as most places but believe me, it’s cold enough for people to change their behaviors. Here when it gets below 50°, I have to run my hot water faucets for a long time before the water gets to the fixture from the hot water heater outside or in the garage or in the back of the house. Not only does water have to travel the distance but it must warm up the pipes that have gotten their very coldest.
Who has three minutes to wait for the hot water? I know some people will turn on their bathtubs and then go fold laundry for a while until the water gets hot enough to take a shower. Hand washing times get briefer than ever because it’s so unpleasant to take hard-working hands and thrust them under ice cold water, causing them to ache even more. In flu and cold season, we need to be washing our hands even longer. How many people just rinse as quickly as possible though in this season?
One of my happy customers told me it was like a warm hug every morning when she turned on the faucet to her arthritic hands.
I added a recirculating pump and thermal sensors for my brother and his wife in Fresno, living on a slab foundation. Their kitchen faucet used to take forever to get hot water from the garage heater. With the new system, they now enjoy quick access to hot water, making dishwashing and baby bottle cleaning more efficient and pleasant.
California is a naturally dry state and is prone to droughts. While the current conditions are not as severe as they were a year ago, it's still important to conserve water. That's why these innovative pumps, which claim to save up to 15,000 gallons of water per zone per year, are worth considering. Although I can't verify the exact figure they quote, the potential water savings are certainly promising. It's definitely worth looking into further to see if they can help you reduce your water usage and contribute to a more sustainable future for California
