A family of four can waste as much as 38,000 gallons of water each year just waiting for hot water.
Your customers may be so accustomed to waiting for hot water that they may not know there are better ways. Studies we've seen from various makers of recirculation systems say a family of four can waste anywhere from 12,000 gallons to 38,000 gallons of water annually just waiting for hot water at points of use. When you think about it, water is just like any other commodity that gets marked up as it goes through distribution. First, homeowners pay to have it delivered, then pay to have it heated and then pay to have paid-for heated water go down the drain. Meanwhile, any hot water remaining in the pipes will cool off, and the waiting game starts all over again.
