Problems solved by technology

Generally, however, prior hot water heaters have lacked in various areas.
One problem currently exists and is noticeable when an individual turns on the hot water faucet to get hot water.
This can cause a large amount of water waste, especially when multiplied by thousands of homes all experiencing the same problem.
Another problem with current water heaters is

Embodiment Construction

A. Overview

[0027]Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS. 1 through 6 illustrate an instant hot water delivery system 10, which comprises a water heater 20 including an inlet 22 and an outlet 24, a cold water supply line 12 introducing cold water into the inlet 22, a hot water supply line 14 connecting the outlet 24 to a faucet 19 and a recirculation line 17 connected to the hot water supply line 14 downstream of the outlet 24 and the cold water supply line 12 upstream of the inlet 22. The recirculation line 17 forms a first recirculation loop for water within the water heater 20 to flow during a first water heating process. A recirculation pump 40 is connected to the cold water supply line 12 between the local recirculation line 17 and the inlet 22 for circulating the water during the water heating processes.

Abstract

An instant hot water delivery system for efficiently heating water when necessary to provide instant hot water to a faucet. The instant hot water delivery system generally includes a water heater including an inlet and an outlet, a cold water supply line introducing cold water into the inlet, a hot water supply line connecting the outlet to a faucet and a recirculation line connected to the hot water supply downstream of the outlet and the cold water supply line upstream of the inlet. The recirculation line forms a first recirculation loop for water within the water heater to flow during a first water heating process. A recirculation pump is connected to the cold water supply line between the local recirculation line and the inlet for circulating the water during the water heating process.
