How is RedyTemp less demanding on the water heater?
RedyTemp’s “normally closed” valve technology prevents water from being siphoned into the cold water line from the hot water line during cold water usage. Unfortunately, this is not the case with thermostatic crossover valve systems in which the crossover valve remains “normally open” 95F or greater hot water contacts the valve to keep it closed. An open crossover valve permits water to be siphoned from the hot water line due to the drop in water pressure in the cold water line during cold water usage. Any water which gets siphoned from the hot water line results in added demand to the water heater as very cold city water enters the hot water heater to replace that which siphoned into the cold water line during the cold water usage event (flushing toilets, watering lawns, etc.) RedyTemp prevents the re-occurring costly demand on the water heater caused from hot water line siphoning, saving hundreds of dollars in wasted energy each year. Additional energy savings result from RedyTemp’s
