We are in a region where water conservation issues are rising in importance with a rapidly expanding population and a record economic expansion with consumers looking for comfort. Hot Water Recirculation (HWR) pumps — such as those manufactured by Grundfos Pumps Corporation — are an excellent solution.



In typical plumbing, water is pumped from the water heater through the pipes to the tap. Once the faucet shuts off, the water in the pipes cools — hence the familiar wait for hot water the next time the tap opens.

Grundfos HWR pumps offer a solution to the problem by attaching to the water heater through the hot water pipe. By constantly circulating hot water through the pipelines from the heater to the furthest fixture, the water in the pipes is always hot, and no water gets wasted during the wait. In an average new home, HWR systems typically cost less than $1,000, including parts and installation.
