Instant Hot Water

You will find the word "instant" used for both theWatts Premier's Instant Hot Water Recirculating System and Tankless Hot Water Heaters. So what is the difference?

The Watts Premier's Instant Hot Water Recirculating System makes sure that when you turn on a hot water faucet, you immediately get hot water. This unit monitors the temperature of the water in the line from the tank to the faucets and if the water cools sufficiently, the unit pumps the water back into the hot water heater tank so that the pipes are again filled with fresh hot water from the tank. Tankless Hot Water Heaters heat water "instantly" as water passes through on its way to a faucet, however, it will take a short time for the hot water to arrive at a specific faucet. The Tankless system will, however, be more apt to keep up with a continuous demand of hot water

The Watts Premier's Instant Hot Water Recirculating System

Watts Premier's Instant Hot Water Recirculating System is a pump and valve combination that delivers hot water in an instant to any faucet or bath in your home. It uses the pump at the water heater along with the patented under-sink sensor valve installed furthest away from the water heater. This combination creates a pressure differential that allows the cold and cool water in the hot water supply line to "bypass" (at a low volume) into the cold water supply line through the thermostatically controlled sensor valve, keeping the water in the hot water supply line at a "no-wait" temperature throughout the home. The timer on the pump makes it more efficient during downtime.

How Much Water is Wasted Waiting for It to Get Hot?

Example:

An average home has approximately 125 ft of 3/4 inch piping,
125 feet of 3/4" pipe holds 3.14 gallons of water,
10 draws per day wastes over 31 gallons of water waiting for the water to get hot.
Over a year, the wasted water equals 11,461 gallons.
