Water Heating & Hydronic
Recirculation Systems
Plumbing issues you are facing:
- Waiting several minutes for hot water at distant fixtures
- Wasting gallons of water down the drain waiting for heat
- Master bathroom far from water heater with long wait times
- Recently added bathroom or kitchen with poor hot water delivery
- Want instant hot water without constant pump operation
- High water bills from running taps until water heats up
- Considering tankless but concerned about delivery lag
- Multiple bathrooms competing for hot water
What D&H PLUMBERS fixes:
- Assess layout and determine best recirculation approach (loop or demand)
- Install dedicated return line from farthest fixture back to heater (full loop)
- Add under-sink demand pumps with buttons for instant hot water (no return line needed)
- Install timer or aquastat controls to run pump efficiently
- Integrate with tankless or tank heaters for optimized performance
- Size pump for system volume and pipe length
- Test hot water delivery times at all fixtures
- Program settings to balance convenience and energy use
