SELLING A SOLUTION

Don't just sell hot water; sell instant hot water.

At your next water heater repair or install, offer the comfort and convenience of an APCOM® Recirculation System that saves time, money, and the environment. Once your customers experience the convenience of instant hot water, they’ll never want to wait again.

Each system is fully automatic and controlled by built-in sensors and switches. When the water at the faucet cools down, the sensor turns on the pump. The pump shuts off when the hot water arrives. Depending on the length and size of the pump, it will run three to four times per hour for one to two minutes to maintain instant hot water at the faucet.

APCOM© recirculation systems are the most energy efficient circulators available on the market today. The operating costs are minimal, varying from $2 to $8 per year for the largest system. The pumps pay for themselves within one to three years, contingent on local utility rates.

SELLING SUSTAINABILITY

Homeowners are increasingly aware of and looking for affordable and sustainable ways to reduce waste and costs associated with their consumption of natural resources. Read more on Plumber Mag.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

"UT1 System to install and what a pleasure to have hot water in seconds. Nice to know we are saving water but washing hands in almost instant warm water is too good!” – Chris, March 2019 UT1 System

“The pump is working great! We’ve been in this home almost 7 years and this is the first time we haven’t had to wait 3 minutes for hot water (and I timed that before putting in the pump)…The way they build houses here in Austin, the pumps really help when temperatures dip into the 30s.” – Rick M. (Austin, TX)

“Everything arrived quickly and in great condition. Quality product at a great price.” – SDS Supply, FT1 System

"Easy install. Kitchen sink was two minutes to feel any temp change, now in 6 seconds I get hot water. Have timer set for weekday pre-heats. I can deal with the weekends having to wait slightly. Great product, have made co-worker recommendations already." - Dan C., July 16, 2019, UT1 System

WHY RECIRCULATION PUMPS MATTER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

An eco-friendly solution

Many of your customers multi-task while waiting for hot water. All that water (cold and hot) simply goes down the drain along with money, time, and energy that could have been better spent on other things.

The average household wastes up to 12,000 gallons of water per year (energy.gov) just waiting for hot water. This is equivalent to 90,000+ plastic water bottles (16.9 Fl oz) per family, per year poured down the drain. With less than 1% of Earth’s water being accessible for human use (conservation.org), water is too precious to waste. APCOM© recirculation systems provide instant hot water, diminishing that 12,000 gallons of water waste.

APCOM© Recirculation Systems is the solution that helps your customers save time, energy and protect the environment.



SELLING THE RIGHT PUMP

It is recommended that different models be used for water heater tank and tankless applications. For homes that use a single pipe (one-pipe or point-of-use) system to deliver hot water to the sinks and showers, the water in the pipe turns cold when no one uses hot water. This application requires recirculation pumps that are installed under the sink furthest from the water heater. For homes with a dedicated return line (2-pipe) system where a pipe runs from the furthest sink from the heat source back to the hot water tank, boiler or tankless water heater, it’s best to use the system that installs at the heat source. Use the reference guide below to help determine the best product for your application.
