Question 5

Why not use hot water pumping systems?

Accepted Answer

Hot water pumping systems frequently require high installation cost and use costs such as electric installation/use, aditional cold water return pipes and replacement pumps. Pump systems that are low cost and easy to install, use existing cold water pipes to get water back to the water heater from the hot water pipes, this means you will have warm water in the cold water pipes and may be drinking water that has previously been in your water heater. (it's not good to use previously heated water for consumption) The water from your water heater contains more bacteria than the water normally found in cold water pipes and can also have disolved metals from corrosion of water heater components.
