Caption: Me waiting for the hot water to reach the sink every morning
I didn’t know that was a thing! I’ve been thinking of that exact same thing for years, wondering if it was even technically feasible and wondering why it wasn’t a standard in new home construction. I can’t imagine how much water is wasted by people just waiting for their showers to heat up.
Then again, my local water company recycles waste water from people’s homes. So maybe requiring it isn’t necessary with modern water recycling programs.
It’s a game changer. My smart plug lost its connection while I was messing with my router one day. I had forgotten how bad it was without the pump. I’m in a warm climate so the heat gets paid for twice but I don’t even care, it’s a luxury I am willing to pay for.
Is it weird with your cold water? Looking into it, it seems like it fills up your come water pipe with warm water. Wondering if that affects drinking water coming from your refrigerator or anything like that.
Fridge water is unaffected. The last sinks where the valves are located are lukewarm for 5 seconds or so. The rest of the sinks are normal for me. I have 2 branches so 2 valves.
