It’s a common problem: turn on the faucet or shower for hot water, then wait for it to arrive. In fact, the wait can be minutes in larger homes with multiple bathrooms and long runs of pipe between the plumbing fixtures and the water heater! With a Taco Domestic Hot Water Recirculation System in place, there’s no more wait. Instant hot water!

A domestic hot water system without a dedicated return line requires a “point of use” product that is typically installed at the fixture furthest from the water heater. The cold water supply pipe is used as the return line to the water heater.

Of course, all that “waiting water” contains some heat energy (BTU’s), even if it’s only room temperature. Wasting those BTU’s and starting over with fresh, cold water to heat up requires even more heat energy. So in addition to wasting water, millions of BTU’s and energy dollars are wasted, too.

This system is provided with a dedicated return line installed between the end of the hot water supply pipe and the water heater. A circulator is installed in the piping loop to move the hot water from the water heater through the supply pipe and back through the return pipe.

Waiting for hot water sends millions of gallons of cooled water down the drain each year. In fact, an average family of four wastes up to 12,000 gallons of water each year waiting for hot water.* Water conservation is so im- portant that many US states and municipalities routinely impose watering bans and offer rebate incentives to help conserve this natural resource.
