  1. HOT WATER Waiting for We’ve all done it. Most wait multiple times a day.

  2. What’s the big deal… It’s only water, right?

  3. Waiting for wastes WATER TIME MONEY ENERGY

  4. How much is wasted WAITING FOR HOT WATER? FAMILYof4 WAITING Let’s find out… (average time) (for hot water to arrive) EACH PERSON 3 TIMES PER DAY DAD MOM KID 1 KID 2 FOR A TOTAL OF MORNING 7 12 2 6 8 11 9 10 1 5 4 3 EVENING USES PER DAY BEFORE BED Calculation (1 min x 3 uses per day) x 4 people = 12

  8. How much water is 9,636Gallons? 5 gal. Water Cooler Ht: 20.4” You Could Fill 1,927 igLoo Coolers

  9. How much water is 9,636Gallons? 5 gal. Water Cooler Ht: 20.4” You Could Fill 1,927 igLoo Coolers Enough to fill 3 columns of coolers stacked as tall as Eiffel Tower 1063 ft.

  10. How much water is 9,636Gallons? 5 gal. Water Cooler Ht: 20.4” You Could Fill 1,927 igLoo Coolers Enough to fill 1.2 columns of coolers stacked as tall as WORLDS TALLEST BUILDING BurjKhalifa 2717 ft. 1600 coolers per stack

  11. HOW MANY DAYS A YEAR DOES YOUR FAMILY SPEND WAITING FOR HOT WATER? CLICK HERE TO CALCULATE YOUR HOUSEHOLDS POTENTIAL SAVINGS? NOTE: Savings are based on owning a RedyTemp efficient hot water circulator which DOES NOT suffer from hot water siphoning during cold water use, i.e. does not cause users to have to wait for cold water.

  12. BIG PICTURE TIME WASTED with WATER RUNNING WAITING FOR HOT WATER ^ and lights “on” Accumulated Annual Totals 10 household = 30 DAYS of time spent waiting, 96,360 Gallons wasted 1,000 homes = 8 YEARS of time spent waiting, 9,636,000 Gallons wasted 10k homes = 8.2 DECADES of time spent waiting, 96,360,000 Gallons wasted 100k homes = 6.2 CENTURIES of time spent waiting, 963,600,000 Gallons wasted 1,000k homes = 8.2 MILLENNIUMS of time spent waiting, 9.6 Billion Gallons wasted Can you imagine... Some families are spending 3DAYS or 72 HOURS each year waiting for hot water? CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING... a family of 4 That waits 1 MINUTE before hot water arrives and each person uses hot water 3 TIMES PER DAY 1 (Minute)  x   4 (persons)  x3 (number of hot water uses per day) EQUALS = 12 MINUTES Per day...SPENT WAITING-n-WASTING WATER 12 (minutes per day)  x365 (Days in a year)         EQUALS = 4,380 Minutes each year...SPENT WAITING-n-WASTING WATER 4,380 minutes /  60 minutes (1 hour) EQUALS =   73 Hours Each Year ...SPENT WAITING-n-WASTING WATER 3 DAYS a year SPENT WAITING  WASTING WATER-N-ENERGY equal to...FAUCET RUNNING for 3 DAYS plus...LIGHTS ON for 3 DAYS

  13. BIG PROBLEM WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS DON’T LIKE CLEAN WATER Concerned with what would happen at waste water treatment plants if people suddenly stopped wasting clean water down the drain Temtrol deltaT made some calls. A 20 year veteran of a waste water treatment plant stated that if just 20% of the "clean" water which enters waste water treatment plants ceased, a plants life span would be extended 7 years because it wouldn't have to work so hard to remove the clean water each time. With clean water entering waste water treatment plants its a lot more difficult to obtain "activated sludge" which is the point at which the bacteria begins eating away at the waste. What impact would 5 million RedyTemp systems have on infrastructure? It could save 48 BillionGallons of water from being run through the system needlessly each year. Can you imagine... Some families are spending 3DAYS or 72 HOURS each year waiting for hot water? CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING... a family of 4 That waits 1 MINUTE before hot water arrives and each person uses hot water 3 TIMES PER DAY 1 (Minute)  x   4 (persons)  x3 (number of hot water uses per day) EQUALS = 12 MINUTES Per day...SPENT WAITING-n-WASTING WATER 12 (minutes per day)  x365 (Days in a year)         EQUALS = 4,380 Minutes each year...SPENT WAITING-n-WASTING WATER 4,380 minutes /  60 minutes (1 hour) EQUALS =   73 Hours Each Year ...SPENT WAITING-n-WASTING WATER 3 DAYS a year SPENT WAITING  WASTING WATER-N-ENERGY equal to...FAUCET RUNNING for 3 DAYS plus...LIGHTS ON for 3 DAYS

  14. AGING PROBLEM AGING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE COULD COST ALL OF US MORE IN THE END "Clean water is fundamental to our economy and our health. We depend on water infrastructure, but our drinking water and wastewater systems are aging," said Andrew Herrmann, P.E., ASCE president. "Some of our water systems are 100 years old and in desperate need of replacement. When those systems fail, they disrupt businesses and families and cost all of us more in the end. The need is clearly there.“ In order to meet the needs of our growing population for clean, available water, the annual investment must increase to $91 billion. An additional $9.4 billion per year between now and 2020 would avoid $21 billion per year in costs to households and businesses. How many homes would benefit from $1 billion in RedyTemp units?
