GS Plumbing Introduces New Way to Get Optimal Hot Water Flow

Greenville, SC (PRWEB) November 22, 2012 -- GS Plumbing, a leading plumbing contractor in Greenville, South Carolina, recommends installing hot water recirculation pumps, to help reduce water waste and save time, energy, and money. Hot water recirculation pumps provide hot water about 60 to 80 percent faster than standard water heater configurations.

"With normal water heaters, hot water is sent from the heater to your faucet. As hot water sits in the pipe waiting to be used, it cools off," explains Pam Sonnefeld of GS Plumbing. "When you turn the faucet on again, the cooled-off water has to be displaced with fresh, hot water. This can end up wasting a large amount of the cooled water, especially if the faucet is far from the water heater."
