FlowSmart Hot Water Circulator
FlowSmart provides any hot water outlets that are distant from a cylinder with almost instant hot water with an energy efficient, low cost and easy to install solution. This enables a single hot water cylinder to serve outlets that would usually be too far away and may otherwise require a second water heater.
The system is designed for homes with hot water outlet/s that are more than 12m from the hot water cylinder. By including FlowSmart a single hot water system can be used throughout the home, making it easier to specify a single, energy efficient hot water system such as hot water heat pump, solar system or central heating boiler plus cylinder.
FlowSmart can be installed on any hot water cylinder and is the perfect complement to Reclaim CO2 heat pumps, Apricus solar hot water and Easypell pellet boilers, providing a single, highly efficient and sustainable hot water system.
The system can also be used in existing homes to solve long wait times for hot water and water waste if there is access between the cylinder and remote bathroom or other hot water outlet, to run a return pipe back to the cylinder.
