Water Heater Supplies Whole House, Saves Energy

Houston, Texas – Microtherm Inc.’s water heater promises an endless supply of hot water, saves energy and frees up storage space. The new water heater, called the Seisco, doesn’t have a water tank. It uses electronically controlled electrical elements to heat water as it flows through, so hot water supply is endless. And since it avoids reheating the same water over and over again, the Seisco flow-through heater can save 25 percent or more on energy costs compared with a conventional hot water tank, according to David Seitz, the inventor of the Seisco. It is usually mounted on a wall.

Hot Water Available at the Touch of a Button

Costa Mesa, Calif. — The Metlund Hot Water On D’mand System from Advanced Conservation Technologies circulates the ambient temperature water in the hot water pipes (that is normally lost down the drain) back to the water heater at the push of a button. As the ambient temperature water in the cold water line travels towards the hot water heater, the system fills the hot water line with hot water. When the hot water reaches the system, a thermal sensor senses a temperature rise and quickly closes the zone valve while it shuts the pump off. This results in getting hot water to the fixtures four to five times quicker (on average), greater convenience, a savings in water and energy, and a reduction in sewage costs, the company says.
