Although areculating pump will save water ,is there any savings especially on natural gas hot water heaters..

Hi Amos

I have never thought of a hot water recirculating system as something to SAVE money. These recirc. Systems are installed for quick availabilty of hot water, i.e. installed for convenience, not really to save money!

Here is a REASONABLE article on these systems:

Ask Pablo: Will a "Water-Saving" Hot Water Recirculation Pump Really Save Me Money? : TreeHugger (http://www.treehugger.com/clean-technology/ask-pablo-will-a-water-saving-hot-water-recirculation-pump-really-save-me-money.html)

The individual that wrote the article has taken common sense into the equation and presents a reasonable argument!

With that being said, every home will have different setups, number of people, hours of hot water needed, etc. etc. etc..,.

Please read and let me know what you think, OK?
