Hot water recirculating pump
Has anyone on the group had any experiences with these pumps?
http://www.lowes.com/pd_77814-18701-...3135231&rpp=32 SWMBO complains about the time required to get hot water in the kitchen. The hot water tank is upstairs (!!) in a closet, and the kitchen is as far away from it as you can get. Bathrooms are OK, but not the kitchen. Any comments? I need to run electrical (old work box) and connect this beast. 73 /paul W3FIS |

It works fine for exactly what you are describing. I insulated all my pipes in the loop so that it would loose minimum heat during the circulating process. We like it a lot. R |

I solved that problem when the damned valve started leaking, by running a separate return line back to the water heater, which bypassed the cold water line. This was possible because all my lines were in the basement. R |

Instead I just installed a 2 gallon conventional hot water heater under the kitchen sink (plugged into the same outlet under there as the Dishwasher). They seem to last about 5 years. |

You can install a hot water recirculating pump and the additional pipework and it will fix the problem but only with vastly increased fuel bill. If you do not run it continuously, you risk the chance of all manner of nasty bugs breeding in the return pipework. |

Little heat loss, and all the water savings. A low voltage push button near the usage points starts the pump for the short time run. Running the pump for ectended times is just wasteful. |

All the pumps for that purpose that I've seen include a temp sensor that it shuts the pump off once hot water arrives at the pump. You'd have to be nuts to buy one that didn't have it. |

As soon as it enters the water a series of chemical reactions begin, starting with the formation of hypochlorous acid and hyrdochloric acid. In other words, it's no longer chlorine and it isn't coming back out as a gas. And the sanitizing ability of the chlorine compounds in the water INCREASE as the temp rises. |

Did you never go to school?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sigh..... *Chlorine isn't nitrogen or oxygen. *It's highly reactive. *As soon as it enters the water a series of chemical reactions begin, starting with the formation of hypochlorous acid and hyrdochloric acid. *In other words, it's no longer chlorine and it isn't coming back out as a gas. *And the sanitizing ability of the chlorine compounds in the water INCREASE as the temp rises. And what do you smell when you enter an indoor swimming pool and where did it come from? Why do you suppose bleach smells (of chlorine)? Water links up with any dissolved gas. The link is easily broken by heat or even agitation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_c...r_chlorination |
