Water Recirculation Systems

Dishwasher systems, garbage systems, HVAC systems and water heating systems that supply running hot water in all your sinks and the showers, are a few common appliances that utilize water re-circulation.

What are Water Recirculation Systems?

One type of home comfort system is the water recirculation system. It is made up of a water heater, a hot water pump and a network of pipes for the transportation of hot water to various outlets in the home. A circulation pump ensures a constant supply of hot water on demand on all the faucets in the home.

When a hot water faucet is turned off, the remaining water cools in the pipe and the next time the faucet is turned on, water will need to run for a while before the supply of hot water can reach the tap once more from the heater. A recirculation pump maintains a constant flow of hot water through the network of pipes from the heater to the outlets so that this delay does not occur. A thermostat enables the homeowner to control the temperature of the hot water, thereby conserving energy in the process.

Hot Water Recirculation System Problems

Some of the problems that a recirculation system may develop are leaky pipes, lukewarm or cold water due to a malfunctioning pump or heater, high utility bills due to inefficient heating and water accumulation.
