Chilipepper Hot Water Recirculator
Save water, money, time and space with this hot water appliance.
|
|
The Chilipepper is a small powerful pump that mounts under your sink.
|
Chilipepper is a homeowner-friendly, inexpensive, on-demand hot water pump. It delivers
hot water quickly from your heater to a distant fixture that previously took a long time to
get hot water. It works with all types of water heaters, including tankless. It is a pump,
not a point-of-use heater - it has no heating element, therefore it is very inexpensive to
run. It installs easily under a sink or vanity, using the existing cold water line as a
return, so it is ideal for existing homes. No expensive additional return line is needed.
Chilipepper saves significant water each year, as no water is wasted running down the drain
while you wait for hot water to arrive.
The Chilipepper has the most advanced state of the art electronic circuitry
in the industry with the following features:
- It operates only when the user actually wants hot water. It is dormant 99% of the day. The
user must turn the pump on by pressing a demand switch. It then runs for a few seconds or a
minute (this varies depending on the house plumbing), then automatically turns off when hot water
arrives. A traditional circ pump runs either continuously, or during the hours set by a timer.
Therefore, a traditional pump has significant hidden costs to heat the water it pumps daily -
roughly $150 per year in energy costs alone. Chilipepper costs about $2 per year to run, making
it the most efficient system available in terms of energy and water conservation.
- It is powerful enough to trigger a tankless water heater. To do this, it has a powerful
motor that will pump up to 2 gal/min. This motor is audible, but it runs only a short time. It is
not silent, like a traditional low-flow circ pump. The Chilipepper motor is similar to a small
blender motor, so you should expect to hear it working during the short time it is operating.
The sound of money, water and time being saved whenever you use it!
- Chilipepper will not void a tankless heater warranty - it was designed to operate
with them. The fact that a traditional circ pump operates continuously defeats the very purpose
of using a tankless heater, and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Chilipepper is user-friendly, and easy for a homeowner to install.
The Chilipepper is a great way to save water - no wasted water down the drain when
you are waiting for it to heat up. And with 3 gpm, the hot water will arrive
to your tap about 2 to 4 times faster than just letting the water run down the drain.
- Will work with any Tankless Water Heater!
- Will work with regular water heaters too!
