Water Heating
While ACT hot water recirculation systems are NOT water heaters, they do reduce the wait for hot water. Often, when people look for hot water heating systems they are seeking for a way to get hot water to their fixtures rapidly. ACT’s recirculating hot water pumps send cold water in the plumbing back to the water heater, via the cold water or dedicated return line, while simultaneously bringing hot water to all fixtures on that plumbing line, in a matter of seconds. Unlike other hot water recirculation pumps, the ACT D’MAND pump does not allow hot water into the cold water line, and delivers hot water to the furthest fixtures on-demand, rather than on a timer based system. Even if you are already using an efficient hot water heating system, an ACT pump will reduce wait time for hot water.
ACT’s D’MAND pumps are compatible with tankless water heaters and tank water heaters whether they are powered by propane, natural gas, or electric. ACT’s D’MAND pumps are also compatible with solar water heating systems.
If you are searching for an On Demand Water Heater, you should consider an ACT D’MAND pump, because the ACT pump will deliver the hot water at a fast rate, while the on demand water heater will only warm the water when there is a need for it. On demand water heaters are also known as “tankless” water heaters and the ACT D’MAND pump is uniquely suited for these applications. The ACT D’MAND pump is ideal in tankless water heater situations because it circulates hot water on-demand rather than on a timer base. If a recirculation system uses a timer and is running for hours each day, then it will wear out the heat exchanger on a tankless water heater.
