How to Get Your Hot Water Faster

If you could write a symphony in the time it takes for your water to heat up, clearly you’re waiting. The good news is, you don’t have to. Nor do you have to replace your water heater to speed things up.

Instead, you can start enjoying hot water in an instant with a new water heater recirculating pump professionally installed by Your 1 Plumber. Not only is it an affordable solution on almost any budget, but it will help you conserve large quantities of water every single day.

How a hot water recirculating pump works

Right now, your plumbing system sends heated water from your water heater storage tank to the faucet or appliance calling for it. Once the faucet or appliance is shut off, what’s left of the hot water inside your pipes cools down. And the next time you need hot water? The process repeats itself.

But that all changes with a hot water recirculating pump, which pulls the cooled-down water inside the pipes back into the water heater storage tank for reheating. At the same time, a small amount of hot water is steadily being pumped throughout your plumbing system from your water heater and back again. Hence, no waiting.

Why you need a recirculating pump

If you’re not the patient type, you’ll love the convenience of hot water on demand. Plus, all the water you’ll save will reflect nicely on future water bills.

But the savings don’t stop there since you’ll notice reductions on you electric and gas utility bills, too. That comes from less activity required by your water heater which in turn leads to reduced wear and tear, and the likelihood of less wear and tear and a longer system lifespan.

There are different types of recirculating pumps available with one just right for you and your home.  To learn more or request service, contact Your 1 Plumber today. We’re your local plumbing, drain, and water heater specialists.
