Instant / Instantaneous hot water circulators – How they work

There are 4 distinct types of our hot water circulators that provide hot water to your taps instantly.

The on demand instant hot water circulating system – Domestic and Commercial

The on demand system requires you to push a button that starts a small pump. This pump pulls hot water through your hot water pipes and forces the cooler water back through your cold pipes to the hot water system. This reduces hot water wastage significantly and uses only 55 watts of electricity per hour.

On demand instantaneous hot water systems do not require a dedicated return line so they can be retro fitted to an existing dwelling. The only downside of these systems is that once you press the switch you must wait for a short time before you can turn the hot tap on. It is not automatic.

Programmable instant hot water circulating system – Domestic and Commercial

As the name suggest this pumped system can be programmed to move hot water around to your taps. You can have a timed system, where you can set the system to run for two separate time periods during the day. The most common settings for domestic installations are 6am until 9am and 5pm until 9 pm. When the system is on you can go to your tap and have hot water instantly. This reduces hot water wastage significantly and uses 55 watts of electricity per hour. This system requires a designated return line. The downside of this system is that it requires a designated return line. As it does not have a thermostat it can result in a lot of wasted energy.
