Granite Recirculation Pumps
Isn’t it horrible when you go to step into the shower and get hit with freezing water? Recirculation pumps are the answer to waiting for the hot water to arrive where you need it, and can also provide energy efficient heating for your home. These excellent quality pumps from Granite are economical, easy to install, low-maintenance and they save valuable resources, too!
Circulating pumps as used to circulate domestic hot water so that a faucet will provide hot water instantly upon demand, or (more conserving of energy) a short time after a user's request for hot water. In regions where water conservation issues are rising in importance with rapidly expanding and urbanizing populations local water authorities offer rebates to homeowners and builders that install a circulator pump to save water. In typical one-way plumbing without a circulation pump, water is simply piped from the water heater through the pipes to the tap. Once the tap is shut off, the water remaining in the pipes cools producing the familiar wait for hot water the next time the tap is opened. By adding a circulator pump and constantly circulating a small amount of hot water through the pipes from the heater to the farthest fixture and back to the heater, the water in the pipes is always hot, and no water is wasted during the wait.
