By using a hot water demand system to make your plumbing system green you save water, reduce green house gas emissions, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and solve any slow hot water problems you have as a result of low flow fixtures.
When you install a hot water demand system you will actually feel good every time you use your hot water.Â
What is a hot water demand system how is it green, and how does it save water?
A hot water demand system is a green plumbing product that pumps the hot water from your water heater to your fixtures more quickly than if you just turned on the faucet full blast. The cooled off hot water residing in the hot water pipes from the last time hot water was used is returned to the water heater through the cold water piping.
When you want hot water you push a button, and the pump starts pumping. When the hot water reaches the fixture the pump shuts off, and you now have instant hot water without running any water down the drain.
What are the green benefits from a demand system?
By reducing the amount of water you use, you reduce the energy required to process and pump both the clean water going into your home and the sewage leaving your home. Reduced water usage and reduced sewage fees, which are usually calculated based on the amount of water you use, result in money saved.
Reducing the pumping and treatment energy for water and sewage results in reduced green house gas emissions from producing and using that energy. A reduction in energy usage also reduces our reliance on foreign oil.
If you have a septic system you will reduce the load on the leach field.
Dishwashers get your dishes cleaner when they get hot water right off the bat. The number one reason for customer complaints to dishwasher manufacturers is the result of the water not being hot enough to completely dissolve the detergent. A green plumbing product that helps you clean your dishes.
How much water could be saved?
If each of the 50 million single family homes in America saved 10,000 gallons of water each year, a conservative estimate, then all 50 million homes would save 500,000,000,000 gallons of water per year!  Five hundred billion gallons of water per year!
If you add in the apartments, condos, multi-family dwellings, and commercial applications that number can grow to be quite large.
Tankless water heaters need hot water pumps
Tankless water heaters take longer to deliver your hot water to your fixtures. The longer wait means more wasted water down the drain and more frustration on your part over the slow hot water.
The Chilipepper turns a water wasting tankless water heater into a green plumbing product…saves energy and it saves water. It’s a way to go green that adds convenience to your day as well.Â

Waste: $17.6 2010 IACP Award Winner!The true cost of what the global food industry throws away. With shortages, volatile prices and nearly one billion people hungry, the world has a food problem–or thinks it does. Farmers, manufacturers, supermarkets and consumers in North America and Europe discard up to half of their food–enough to feed all the world’s hungry at least three times over. Forests are destroyed and nearly one tenth of the West’s greenhouse gas emissions are released growing food that will never be eaten. While affluent nations throw away food through neglect, in the developing world crops rot because farmers lack the means to process, store and transport them to market. But there could be surprisingly painless remedies for what has become one of the world’s most pressing environmental and social problems. Waste traces the problem around the globe from the top to the bottom of the food production chain. Stuart’s journey takes him from the streets of New York to China, Pakistan and Japan and back to his home in England. Introducing us to foraging pigs, potato farmers and food industry CEOs, Stuart encounters grotesque examples of profligacy, but also inspiring innovations and ways of making the most of what we have. The journey is a personal one, as Stuart is a dedicated freegan, who has chosen to live off of discarded or self-produced food in order to highlight the global food waste scandal. Combining front-line investigation with startling new data, Waste shows how the way we live now has created a global food crisis–and what we can do to fix it. |
