Stop Waiting for Hot Water:
|
|
|
Proprietary Technology:
|
|
|
The reason you have to wait so long for hot water in the
morning before anyone uses hot water there is cool water in the hot line
between the water heater and your faucet or shower.
This cool water has to go somewhere before you get hot water. And it usually wasted down the drain while you
wait.

remotes

Figures 1 and 2 shows a typical plumbing layout for a house with a kitchen and 1 bathroom and a
traditional tank style water heater.
The red line represents the hot water line and the blue line represents the cold water line.
Typically a water heater is located at some distance, 30' to 40' or more, from where hot water is needed.
If more than an hour has passed since the last time someone used hot water, the hot water line will have cooled off.
This cool water must be removed from the line before hot water reaches your faucet.

The solution is either our WaterQuick Tankless for tankless water heaters or WaterQuick Pro II for tank style water heaters.

Installs in 1 hour and costs less than $400.
Use your existing cold water line (blue line in Figure 2) to circulate the cool water back to the water heater.
In order to accomplish this you will need a hot water pump (otherwise known as a circulation pump) and a flow sensor at the water
heater, and a bridge valve between the hot and cold water valves under the farthest sink.
|
Figure 3:
The Concept
|
|
In Figure 3 the hot water pump is installed on top of the water heater and the bridge valve is installed under a sink
furthest from the water heater.
As the hot water is drawn from the water tank by the circulation pump it pushes the cool water back through
the cold water line to the water heater to be used again.

|
Figure 4 shows how it works:
Step 1: Turn on any hot water faucet in the house for 1 second and then turn it off.
Step 2: The circulation pump is activated
Step 3: Cool water from the hot line is circulated back to the water heater through the cold water line
Step 4: Enjoy hot water without wasting it down the drain.
