One huge loss of water in a home is the water that goes down the drain because it is the wrong temperature. Waiting for the water to get warm at the tap or shower head costs a family of 4 about 12,000 gallons of wasted H2o annually *as determined by GAMA (Gas Appliance Manufactures Association) - waiting for hot water to reach their faucet!<br /><br />One very effective way of saving cool water from going down the drain is to introduce a circulating pump into the water system. By installing a circulation system, the water from the 'hot' side of the system that has cooled, is sent to the 'cold' water line and goes back to the hot water tank for re-warming. This not only saves water, but the energy costs heating the water.<br /><br />The best circulation system on the market that I've seen is available at http://hotwaterpronto.com/ It is the only circulating pump that doesn't need electricity to run. It can be installed anywhere in the water system, and save hundreds if not thousands of gallons of water, and as an added bonus will help prevent pipes from bursting due to water pipes freezing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
