Research Shows Laing Thermotech Hot Water Recirculation
Pumps Save Energy and Water
More than 80
percent of customers say they install Laing Thermotech’s hot
water recirculation pumps for the convenience and time
savings of having water instantly available at the faucet.
Independent research reveals significant economic benefits
from using the Laing Recirculation Pumps.
Chula Vista, CA
-- Nov. 17, 2006
– Hot water recirculation pumps from Laing Thermotech Inc.
do more than offer consumers the benefit of having instant
hot water in their home. They also conserve considerable
energy and wasted water—which translates into substantial
cost savings, according to independent research by
consulting mechanical engineers Edward Saltzberg and
Associates.
“Although
Laing’s products are best known as a convenience item to the
average consumer, our ultra-efficient,
low-energy-consumption pumps actually pay for themselves by
reducing the homeowners’ energy consumption and wasted
water,” said Scott S. Shimer, Laing’s CEO.
Laing’s Autocirc®
Recirculation System, for example, costs less than 10
cents a day to run and can conserve enough energy to pay for
itself in less than two years, Shimer says. Homeowners can
save thousands of gallons of water each year, plus use less
energy by not having to heat wasted water. By sending less
water down the drain, they can also reap sewer savings.
According to
independent study, consumers can save nearly $300 a year
using the Autocirc System with an electric water heater.
This is based on the water heater being set at an average
temperature of 140º F, an incoming water temperature of 40º
F, and running the pump four minutes per hour for 16 hours a
day and 350 days a year. It is also based on electricity at
$0.125 per kilowatt hour, water cost at $2.02/100 Ft³, and a
sewer surcharge at $1.35/100 Ft³.
In addition to
offering the Autocirc System for retrofit applications,
Laing also sells a hot water recirculation product for new
construction: the UltraCirc®. Both of these
user-friendly systems give homeowners the advantage of
having hot water almost instantly at every faucet and shower
in their home. They:
-
Install
easily with the existing hot water supply line
-
Require less
energy to operate than similar products
-
Contain a
quiet pump that is almost inaudible when running
-
Feature a
low-flow design that helps to avoid pipe erosion
problems

-
Are
