When it comes to hot water, buyers don't want to wait for it to get hot enough to use, and they don't like wasting water, which happens when it runs down the drain while warming at the hot water tank. You can reward them with instant hot water and conservation of a natural resource by installing domestic hot water recirculation products from Taco Comfort Solutions. Taco's hot water products are Made in America by a fam- ily-owned company that's been in busi- ness for almost 100 years. Taco Comfort Solutions offers a full suite of such products, and here's more information on one of them. The TacoGenie ® delivers instant hot water comfort and convenience at faucets and bath fixtures and helps homeowners save energy and money. The TacoGenie's small and quiet running pump, installed within household cabi- Taco Comfort Solutions (Cont'd. from p. 1) nets, attaches to hot and cold water lines. When activated, cool water in the process of being heated that is normally lost down the drain while waiting for hot water to arrive is instead recirculat- ed back to the home's water heater through the cold water line. When hot water arrives at the faucet or fixture, the TacoGenie's heat sensor and control board shut off the pump to prevent pumping excess water into the cold water line. Homeowners have the ability to control the TacoGenie, and the device is smart enough to sense when the water in the line is hot enough. The UL listed/NSF certified TacoGenie is easily installed in just eight steps. Provide your homebuyers with the best in domestic hot water recirculation from Taco Comfort Systems.
