Hot Water Energy Conservation

With a geothermal system, a heat pump within the heat exchanger process creates heat. The system captures that heat through a closed loop and sends that back to the hot water tank. The geothermal hot water system uses the least amount of energy possible in heating the water in both tanks.

Insulated Plastic Piping With Separate Hot & Cold Lines
Traditionally, copper piping has been used in most homes. The problem with copper is that it expands and splits - and leaks. Today, we use plastic piping and create a separate hot and cold water line for each faucet. Each one of the blue lines (shown in the photo at left) is cold water. The hot water lines are insulated for efficiency purposes. These are insulated with a 5.2 insulation wrap all the way from where it terminates to the actual faucet location.

Just-Where-You-Need-It Water Conservation
You're actually conserving water and energy when you have individual hot and cold water lines for each faucet in the house. Customarily, water is drawn through central pipes. For example, when you take a shower, the hot water has to travel throughout the house, through all the fixtures before it finally gets to your shower. With this system, there's a direct line to your shower. You're using - and heating - less water.
