Instantaneous gas hot water systems only start to heat water when you turn on the hot water tap. That’s why you get cold water for a while before the water is hot enough to use. Up to 7,000 litres of water is wasted in this way in the average home each year. A hot water circulator is a unit installed with your instantaneous gas hot water system. It recovers wasted water and sends it back into the system to be reheated or used later. A hot water circulator provides instant hot water to your shower, sink, bathtub and washing appliances to save nearly 2,000 buckets of water each year. The hot water circulator must be installed by a licensed plumber to ensure that all relevant requirements and regulations are met. Hot water circulators installed to comply with BASIX (the Building Sustainability Index) for new homes and major renovations are not eligible for a rebate.
