How much $$$ and water do you waste waiting for it to get hot?

The average home wastes between 10,000 and 15,000 gallons of water each year, just waiting for the water to get hot. You get up in the morning, turn on the hot water in the shower... then you wait for the water to eventually get hot.

For example, take a home with 125 feet of 1/2 inch pipe. 125 feet of 1/2" copper pipe holds 3.14 gallons of water. 10 draws per day wastes 31 gallons of water. In a year, 11,461 gallons of fresh water has been wasted by this example household. 25.2 million homes waste 88,817,000,000 gallons of water annually, just waiting for the water to get hot.

The $$$ charged by water companies varies dramatically from one part of the country to the next, so the savings will vary depending on where you live. Look at your water bills to see what your potential cost savings will be. Multiply 15 (for 15,000 gallons) by the $ cost per thousand gallons charged by your water company. If the cost of water is $3.00 per thousand gallons, you could save $45.00 per year. But if your cost of water is $9.00 per thousand gallons, you could save $135.00 per year. One way to save that $$$ is with a HOT WATER Recirculating System, which continually delivers hot water to the faucets throughout your home or business... so no waiting for hot water.
