What is a Hot Water Recirculation Pump?
You might have wondered, why your hot water faucets give you cold water when you first turn them on? Depending on the size of your home, you may wait a few seconds or even minutes for hot water. This is not only inconvenient but wastes a lot of water.
Hot water recirculation pumps benefit from an immediate supply of hot water to all of the faucets in your home or business. Instead of having to wait for the water to heat up every time you take a shower, wash your hands, or do the dishes, this unique system will pump hot water through the hot water system and back to your heater. The recirculation pump system either works with the cold water line or they have their dedicated water lines
In some cases, the hot water recirculation pumps have motion sensors located near each water fixture in your home. These sensors activate the circulation pump each time you turn on the hot water. The system includes temperature sensors and a check valve that prevents water from going back into the return plumbing line. The recirculation pump moves water in the line back to the water heater, thus reducing the amount of time needed for hot water to reach your faucet. Some hot water recirculation pumps are installed on the return line which is the furthest hot water line in a house where the pump receives the hot water and pushes it back into the water heater. In this scenario, the recirculation pump continuously runs to keep the hot water circulating or sometimes its equipped with a timer where the schedule is set that makes the recirculation pump turn on and off.

The Problem
A delay small or long in getting hot water can become a big stress especially when you are running late for work or if it's cold weather out. Because the distance that hot water needs to travel is the reason cold water comes out first. When the faucet is on, hot water is drawn to the sink through the Plumbing System. Turning it off stops the water, but doesn’t return it to the water heater. It stays in the pipes and gets cold and in winters very cold. The next time you need hot water, the cold water in the pipes has to be pushed out by fresh hot water from the water heater.
The more long distance between the water heater and the faucet, the more cold water there is and the longer it takes.
Don’t worry, help is on the way that’s why our residents only rely on Mr. Drain ® of Oakland Plumbing the real Water Heater Experts. The experts at Mr. Drain ® of Oakland Plumbing have been dealing with late or delayed Hot Water problems since 2000. Whether you have a broken tank or tankless water heater or have to wait for a while to get the hot water we are the experts to call any time around the clock.
The Solution “On Demand Recirculation Pumps”
Homeowners don’t want to wait minutes for hot water to arrive at the faucet or shower when it’s turned on — they need it in less than 9 seconds. A domestic hot water recirculation system can do that as well as prevent lukewarm water from being dumped down the drain by bypassing it into the cold water line. This process saves water, utility costs, and energy. It also helps reduce the freshwater shortage.
Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations now mandates hot-water recirculation in California building codes if the distance from the heat source to the tap is 50 feet or more. Other states have their own building codes that often vary by county and state.
The solution to saving the loss of water is always available with Mr. Drain ® of Oakland Plumbers. When you take an early morning shower, you might have to let the water run until the hot water comes out of the shower. If your water heater is in the basement or your bathroom is on the second floor, you might have to wait up to 90 seconds or more before the hot water begins to emerge.
The experts at Mr. Drain ® of Oakland Plumbing have the solution to this problem. The hot water recirculation pumps are one way to cut back on the amount of water that most homeowners waste when waiting for hot water to emerge from faucets and showerheads. A Mr. Drain ® of Oakland Service Expert will come out to your house and evaluate the distance of the farthest hot water fixture and recommend the reliable, affordable, and most cost-effective solution.
Water Savings With A Water Recirculation Pump
If you have to wait 90 seconds for hot water to appear every time you take a shower or do dishes then the amount of cold water going down your drain adds up pretty quickly. The average showerhead uses 2.1 gallons per minute (GPM) / 7.9 liters per minute (lpm), this means that you could be wasting three gallons of water before you ever step foot into the shower. While low-flow showerheads can reduce the amount of wasted water, there is still a waiting time that leads to inevitable water loss.
The water that goes down the drain will add up with each time you wash your hands, the dishes, brush your teeth, or turn on any faucet in your home.
