In almost every American home there is a
waiting period for hot water while the cold water in the pipes runs down the
drain.
To engineer an energy-efficient hot-water system: 1. Optimize the shortest route for hot water to travel. 2. Select the right type of pipe. 3. Choose the right-size pipe. 4. Install a recirculation loop run by an efficient pump which recirculates cooled water in the hot water pipes back to the water heater. This also adds the convenience of "instant" hot water. A solar hot water system, installed on a south-facing roof. can be integrated with both domestic water and space heating by way of a highly-insulated, large-capacity hot water storage tank with heat exchanger coils specifically designed for this integration. A solar hot water system has a short
pay-back time period.
