Watts Recirculation Pump Saves 10,000 Gallons Per Year
by GreenBusinessOwner.com

You probably do the same thing each and every morning.

I know that the first thing I do after the alarm clock goes off is stumble to the shower, turn the water on, and then stand there with my hand in the stream of freezing cold water. I wait for the warm water to make the trip from the basement water heater to the shower. And I wait. And I wait. All while gallons of water flow down the drain unused and wasted.

Consider that the average family runs over 10,000 gallons of water down the drain each year, just waiting for shower water to warm up to a comfortable temperature before stepping in.

Multiply that number times the number of households in the US, and you have a serious drain on our water resources. And it's all for nothing! Once that perfectly clean water hits the drain it becomes sewage which must be processed.





Enter the Watts Hot Water Recirculation Pump:
There is an aftermarket device that can be added to most homes that will circulate warm water throughout your plumbing system just before you need are ready for your morning shower. Once the kit is installed in your home, warm water will be waiting for you.

This simple kit, with built-in 24-hour timer, allows you turn your standard plumbing system into a closed-loop hot water recirculating system.

Take a look:




Though installation is simple, many people will not have the tools or the confidence to tackle such a plumbing project. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for the green entrepreneur with a little know-how, tools, and the right occupational licenses for their locale!


Keep these points in mind before offering installation of the Watts Hot Water Recirculation Pump as business:
  • Make sure you have the correct occupational licenses to offer simple plumbing services.
  • Some modern homes with PEX plumbing may have multiple plumbing manifolds, which may limit the effectiveness of the system.
  • You may need to educate the market about water recirculation products and their potential to save water, save money, and increase comfort.
