Recirculation Pumps

Many municipalities require that hand-washing sinks and/or food prep areas have a minimal wait time for hot water. This is often accomplished by the use of recirculation pumps. But there are different pumps and different applications for different water heating systems (tank or tankless).

Different pump sizes may also be required based on the size of the building and technical specifications such as head pressure. Other considerations and add-ons might be required when a recirculation loop or line is not present to make this system work properly.  Earl’s Plumbing has resolved the problems of thousands of business owners.

Anti-Scald Devices

Some cities require anti-scald devices in hand-washing areas to avoid safety issues. It’s also a good idea to have these devices in place for insurance and lawsuit mitigation efforts. If your hot water system is shared throughout the entire building, you must have anti-scald devices installed at fixtures where potential injury could occur.

This is especially true when temperatures are required to be hot enough to wash and sanitize dishes and utensils. The temperatures required for dishwashing (even chemically aided cleaning) could be dangerous in a public restroom or prep sink.

Anti-scald devices typically have a livelihood of about 3 years before they stop functioning properly, and they should be replaced fairly regularly to avoid injury concerns.  Earl’s Plumbing can find the right solution for your needs.
