Save Water.
Save Energy.
Add Convenience.
Most conventional recirculation pumps run for hours during the day, even at times when nobody is using hot water. When this happens, energy is lost and your water heater must continue to fire up and reheat unused water, resulting in high gas/electricity use. On-demand systems such as AutoHot only turn on when there is hot water demand and if hot water isn’t already at the tap. Anytime there is no hot water demand, such as when you’re at work, on vacation, sleeping, or just hanging around the house, the system stays off. Operating in this manner usually results in pump run time of less than 15 minutes per day total, and can achieve upwards of 10,000 gallons of water savings per year at a cost of less than $2.00 in energy to operate the system.
Existing Homes
Retrofitting into existing plumbing.
Existing Homes use an AutoHot® Under Sink Kit (USK) which is retrofit into your home under the sink that is furthest from the hot water tank or tankless system. The pump is connected to the hot supply and cold supply lines under the the sink and plugged into the AutoHot® controller. AutoHot® is activated by remote starters and wireless motion sensors. i.e. R000A-USK.
Types of AutoHot Installs
New Home Construction
Plumbing designed with AutoHot in mind
New Homes use an AutoHot® system that uses a small wattage pump to move hot water from your hot water tank or tankless system to the fixture you are at on a your normal supply line. AutoHot is activated by remote starters and wireless motion sensors. i.e. R055A or R099A (for over 4000 sq ft).
