Getting a Solar Water Heater installed for your home is beneficial in innumerable ways, not only do they provide your homes with hot water but help conserve energy in a big way. You can make your Solar Water Heater work more efficiently by installing a hot water recirculation pump. The function of the hot water circulation pump fitted to the Solar water heater ensures that hot water is available at all times as close to the consumption point as possible. This not only reduces the wastage of water but also provides maximum comfort to the user.
Generally, recirculation pumps for solar water heater, used are uncontrolled pumps, since the flow variation is relatively less. However, in large systems, it would be advantageous to use controlled pumps. This enables adjustment of the water flow when starting the solar water system and also enable to control the temperature.
Usually, water from solar water heaters may require several minutes to reach the faucets or tap fixtures. The time to reach the point of use of hot water depends on length of the plumbing pipes from the water heater and also the size of your home. Most of the times one ends up wasting gallons of water before actually finally getting the hot water from the heater. Sheer waste of precious water in this time and age where water is a precious commodity.
Getting a hot water recirculating system installed not only gives you piping hot water instantaneously but also prevents wastage of water.
The principle of hot water recirculating systems is very simple. The recirculation pump installed in the plumbing lines creates a loop, which circulates the residual water in the hot water pipeline back to the solar water heater for reheating. Therefore, whenever you turn on the hot water faucet or shower fixture, hot water is ready for use in the pipeline.
There are various options to choose from when it comes to hot water recirculating systems, some of them are listed below-
The hot water recirculation pump with return line is also known as a traditional hot water circulating system. In this system, there is a dedicated return line for the hot water pipeline, which goes from the furthest hot water fixture of the house back to the solar water heater. The recirculating pump is installed near the solar water heater; this pump creates a loop and by pulling the residual water in the hot water pipes back from the furthest fixtures into the water heater. This in turn keeps hot water circulating at all times throughout the hot water plumbing lines in abuilding and hence, there is warm or hot water available at all times ready for consumption when you turn on the faucet. To make this system run more efficiently and conserve energy at the same time one can get a hot water recirculation pump with a timer installed, so the pump runs only during the hours that you require hot water or when you are home rather than have it running all the time.
As the name suggests the on-demand water re-circulating provides hot water on demand of the user. Therefore rather than running constantly, or at a pre-set time interval, the pump gets activated only when hot water is required. The on-demand heater can be traditional recirculating one with the pump installed near the water heater and a dedicated water return line, or it can be under the sink recirculating pump, which is installed under sink farthest in the house and set up in a way that it supplies hot water throughout the house.
The on-demand hot water recirculating system proves to be extremely efficient as it automatically shuts off pumping when it senses hot water. The on-demand hot water system comes in various types’ such as - hot water recirculating pump with a temperature sensor, which has a motion sensor that senses the flow of water automatically and a hot water recirculation pump with a control panel which lets you control the functioning according to your requirement.
Hot water recirculation pump installation cost depends entirely on the size of your home or business space and the type of hot water recirculation pump that would suit your needs.
