Dux Hot Water new technology can ease water crisis

The introduction of the toughest water restrictions in Sydney's history has highlighted the need for home owners to consider the installation of water-saving plumbing devices in their homes, according to Dux Hot Water.

Dux Hot Water has just launched a product which reduces the amount of time and water wasted while running a hot water tap in order to bring the water up to full temperature.

Readyhot is a revolutionary water recirculation system which pumps back to the water heater on demand any hot water which has cooled in the household's pipes.

Because the water is being re-circulated, the user saves all the water that would otherwise be wasted – so the system has great environmental benefits.

Dux Hot Water says tests show Readyhot will save a household thousands of litres of water per year.

The unit re-circulates water at over 50 litres per minute and up to 89 litres per minute with the large unit.

The system continues recirculation until hot water becomes available at the tap and then turns itself off.

Depending on installation, Readyhot can reduce the waiting time for hot water to only a few seconds.

Readyhot is suitable for both the new and existing home markets as it has the advantage of being able to be easily retrofitted.

It is also compatible with all brands and styles of hot water systems.

Readyhot is available in four versions – for standard or larger homes, with either new construction options or retrofit options.

All packs include a remote switch which can be fixed to a wall anywhere in the house and used to activate the recirculation pump.
